St George's Roman Catholic Secondary School

St George's Roman Catholic Secondary School

St George's Roman Catholic Secondary School is a secondary school situated in Maida Vale, London, England. It made the headlines in December 1995 following the murder of head teacher Philip Lawrence, who was stabbed to death when he tried to break up a fight between the school's pupils and a local gang of teenagers. Mr Lawrence's killer, Learco Chindamo, was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder and the trial judge recommended that he should serve at least 12 years before being considered for parole, and is currently having his parole application reviewed.

The story of the school's progress since Mr Lawrence's death has been featured in a film starring Julie Walters which was titled "Ahead of the Class".
