Dr Knight, St George's Rome, said: "We are proud to be shortlisted once again in The Schools Index by Carfax Education and recognised for the world-class education we give our students. To be included in this prestigious list in 2024 is particularly pleasing as it is the year the school has reunited its original 1960's campus and the start of our biggest building development plans in over half a century.
