Our Value of the month: FRIENDSHIP


Dear St. George's families, 

We have lots to look forward to next week. Our Year 6 pupils will be busy packing their suitcases this weekend in preparation for their Residential. We look forward to them coming back with some amazing tales of their daredevil antics throughout the week!

We also begin our sporting calendar next week, with the Year 5 and 6 girls football team representing St George's in a Lewisham competition. We are so lucky to have a packed calendar of sporting events across the year. We wish our team the best of luck and look forward to the news report in next week's newsletter. 

A reminder to once again please check the upcoming dates section of this newsletter. A link to the School Calendar is also provided in the upcoming dates section of this newsletter. 

One date you will not want to miss is your child's Start of the Year Parent's Meeting. This is an important meeting, where you will visit your child's classroom, meet their teacher, and be given important information about the year ahead, including curriculum timetables, details about national exams, and information on home learning.

Please note that these meetings take place at pick-up time. On that day, pupils will remain in class and parents will go to the classroom instead of the normal pick-up place. Please make a note of the dates below. 

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

Mr Janes

Attendance

At St Georges's, our culture statement says:

We are fun. We are together. 

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: 94.37%
Highest class attendance of the week: Tull Class - 100%
Academic year's average attendance: 94.91%
Our target for the year: 97.00%

We are proud to say that we have now been awarded two attendance certificates. We have been in the top 25% of similar schools for attendance in both the Autumn and Spring terms of the 2023-24 academic year!
