Our Value of the month: PEACE


Dear St. George’s families,

We’re excited to share a few updates from this week and a look at what’s to come!

Our Year 4 students have made a splash as they started their swimming sessions, and we’re thrilled to see their enthusiasm grow with each lesson. We’ve also begun our annual collection for poppies, which always brings out such generosity in our community.

Looking ahead, next week we’ll be holding a special Remembrance Worship on Monday at 11 a.m., where all pupils will participate, including a minute’s silence to honour those who have served.

It’s also Anti-Bullying Week, and our Pupil Leadership Team will lead a thoughtful assembly to remind us of the importance of kindness and respect. On Friday, we’ll step up as courageous advocates, celebrating Children in Need with a range of activities to support this wonderful cause.

We look forward to seeing you all at next week's Open Classrooms. We warmly invite all parents to visit their child’s classroom, browse through their learning books, and chat with the class teacher. Please check the dates below for more information. 

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

Mr Janes

Head teacher

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: 95.82%
Highest class attendance of the week: Tull Class - 100%
Academic year's average attendance: 96.11%
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!
