Our vision statement: Be brave. Be great. Be you. 

Our culture statement: We are fun. We are together. 



Dear St. George's families, 

It has been a day of reflection and of goodbyes today at St George's. We are saying goodbye to Dave, our Premises Officer, as he takes retirement, and to Miss Alexander, who is relocating back to Scotland. Have a look at the news story below to see what their send-off was like!

Our Year Six families are edging ever closer to SATS week, which begins on 9th May. Please make sure that your children are on time and well rested from a good night's sleep. Obviously, this should always be the case, but even more so when your child has the chance to show how much they have learned, ready for Secondary School. 

A big thank you to the Year 5 families who responded to our survey about next year's residential. We would like as many children to take up the opportunity as possible so please check SchoolPing so that your child does not miss out on a trip which they will remember into adulthood. 

As ever, we wish you the very best of weekends, full of rest and fun, ready for learning following the Bank Holiday. 

Mr Janes

Head teacher

Reminders

Moved Bank Holiday Date

As the Bank Holiday has been moved to half term week for the Queen's Jubilee, all schools are entitled to choose a date when school will not open. 

St George's will be ending this half term one day sooner than originally planned so pupils can have an extra day of holidays in the sunshine. 

School will be closed on the 27th May 2022, and the last day of this half term will now be 26th May 2022. 

Sports Day 2022 - Date Change

The date for Sports Day has changed this year and so has the venue!

As Dulwich College sports track will now be having building works during our reserved date, Miss Michell has rearranged for Sports Day to be on 20th July at Ladywell Stadium.

As with last year, we will be asking families to go straight to the venue on the day. More information will be given nearer the time. 

Pyjamarama 2022

Pyjamarama will be back again at St George's on 13th May 2022. 

Once again, we will be inviting everyone to wear their PJs to school to raise the profile of reading. 

There will be plenty of 'bedtime' stories, as well as hot chocolate. We are really looking forward to it!

Parent support

A reminder that you can access parental support on Monday, Wednesday or Friday from Carley between 9:00am and 9:30am. 

If you would like support for any issues or guidance to external agencies, Carley is here to help. 

She is also available on the gate at the end of the day every evening. 

At St. George's we say 'We are fun. We are together.' That includes our parents and wider community.
