Our Value of the month: HOPE


Dear St. George’s families,

As we wrap up 2024, it’s been wonderful to reflect on the festive and joyful moments that have brought us together this term. From the magical nativity productions by Years 2 to 6, to the disco, class parties, and even a visit from Santa, our school has been brimming with Christmas cheer.

We’d also like to celebrate the fantastic contributions to our Home Learning Exhibitions this term. The creativity and hard work displayed by the pupils were truly inspiring, and it was a pleasure to see their efforts showcased. You can read more and see highlights in the news story below.

Each child should now have come home with a Christmas present, generously donated by the Church and lovingly wrapped by our Parent Association. A huge thank you to everyone who made this thoughtful gesture possible—it has brought so much joy to our pupils.

Looking ahead, please keep an eye out for details on booking your 1:1 parent evening slot, which will take place in the third week back after the break. These meetings are a great opportunity to reflect on your child’s progress and set goals for the new term.

Thank you for your continued support throughout 2024. We wish you a joyful and restful Christmas break and look forward to welcoming you back in 2025!

Warm festive wishes,

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: 94.92%
Highest class attendance of the week: Sancho-Thunberg Class - 97.98%
Academic year's average attendance: 96.21%
Our target for the year: 97.00%

We are proud to say that we have now been awarded three 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. Results now say that we were in the top 10% of similar schools for attendance over the whole academic year!
