Our Value of the month: LOVE


Dear St. George's families, 

It has been a great start to the Summer term at St George's.

There have certainly been plenty of sports taking place. Last week, the whole of Key Stage Two took part in their House Hockey Tournaments at Dulwich College. We are so lucky to enjoy the facilities which Miss Michell, our sports lead, organises. Check out the news stories below to see the winners of each event. 

We were also incredibly lucky to have 20 participants in the TCS mini-marathon on the weekend. A big thank you to Miss Michell and Aiden for giving up their time on a Saturday. Who knows, maybe we have inspired a future Olympian this week?

On Tuesday this week, it was St George's Day, which is obviously an important day for us at St George's school, given our name! Across the week, we learned lots about St George and had lots of fun retelling the story of George and the Dragon together in assembly. Check out the news story below to see some of the fabulous writing which our pupils completed following our retelling. 

Finally, a reminder for parents in Nursery, Reception and Year 1 that on Thursday next week, part of the Early Years block will be used as a polling station. On this day, drop-off and pick-up for these classes will be from the gate on Church Vale. 

As ever, we wish you the very best of weekends, full of rest and fun, ready for learning on Monday.

Mr Janes

Being together means attending school regularly. This year, we have set a challenging target for attendance to be in line with pre-Covid levels. Each week we will publish our attendance in this newsletter. Please contribute by ensuring your child is in school, not missing out on learning. 

This week's average attendance: 96.53%
Highest class attendance of the week: Best Class - 99.28%
Academic year's average attendance: 94.67%
Our target for the year: 97.00%
