Our Value of the month: AWE & WONDER


Dear St George's families,

We had a fantastic week of events and celebrations across the school!

Be Brave Day was a real highlight — it was inspiring to see pupils dressed as so many brave historical figures. From campaigners for justice to inventors and explorers, the children really embraced the spirit of our vision: Be brave. Be great. Be you. Thank you for supporting this meaningful day.

Reception families also enjoyed our first Chatty Provision workshop, where we explored how talk and language can be developed through play at home. It was brilliant to share strategies and see families so engaged — we’re looking forward to the next one.

Looking ahead, we’re getting excited for our upcoming School Games Day, which will take place at Dulwich College again this year. Please remember that families should meet us there on the day — it promises to be a brilliant community event.

We’re also preparing for our much-loved Diversity Day and Diversity Evening. During the day, pupils are invited to wear traditional dress linked to their own heritage or a culture they know well. In the evening, we’ll come together as a school community to celebrate the richness of cultures through music, dance, and most importantly — food!

If you’re able to bring along a national dish or drink to share, please let the school office know. Contributions of any size are welcome — it’s the shared spirit that makes the evening so special.

As always, be sure to check the calendar at the end of the newsletter for all key dates and upcoming events. Let’s keep the energy and positivity going strong this half term!

Warm regards,

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: 98.17%
Highest class attendance of the week: Tull & Sancho-Thunberg Class - 100%
Academic year's average attendance: 95.81%
Our target for the year: 97.00%

We are proud to say that we have now been awarded three attendance certificates. We were in the top 10% of similar schools for attendance over the whole academic year. This year, we have been in the top 25% of schools nationally for both Autumn and Spring term.
