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

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



Dear St. George's families, 

We say to our pupils: Be brave. Be great. Be you.

Our Year 6s certainly lived out our vision statement this week and we would like to send a big well done to each and every one of them. The Year 6s approached their SATS tests with maturity and a determination to show what they have learned. They should feel proud of their attitude and results. 

It was a great end to the week on Friday, with us participating in a St George's classic event: Pajamarama. Make sure you check out the news item below to see what we got up to. 

Finally, it is becoming warmer now that we have reached the Summer months. Please make sure you are sending your child in having been suncreamed and with a cap to protect them from the sun at play and lunchtimes. We want our pupils to enjoy time in the sun safely. We ask that caps are plain black, navy or blue to ensure children still look smart. Caps are available to buy through the office. 

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

Mr Janes

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. 

Celebrating The Platinum Jubilee

At St George's, we are fun and we are together. That certainly applies for us when celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

On Wednesday 25th May, we will be asking each pupil for a donation of £1 to purchase some scones and decorations for our afternoon 'Street Party' in the Quad. 

We will be asking all pupils to come dressed in red, white and blue on that day too.  

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.
