Dear St. George's families, 

Democracy has been put to action at St George's this week. Check out the news stories below to see who our newly appointed members of School Council and Faith Group are. We are so proud to have pupils giving their voice to help improve all areas of the school. Last year, money was raised to improve our football cage; I wonder what will our representatives improve this year?

Next week, our Year Six pupils will be heading off to their residential. Keep your eyes peeled in the newsletter in a couple of weeks' time to see how they get on. Fingers crossed they all attempt the Giant Swing, which is pretty scary but rewarding nonetheless!

Finally, a reminder to put the date for our Open Classrooms in your diaries. It is a time to check how well your child is getting on in class and to discuss the progress they are making.  

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

 

Mr Janes

Head teacher

Open Classrooms 5th October 2022

Don't forget to add the 5th October to your diary for one of our Open Classroom evenings. You can come in and view your child's exercise books and speak about their learning to their class teacher. 

We have two slots: one straight after school and one later in the evening at 6pm for those who work at that time.

Our New Attendance Officer

At St George's, we know that it is vitally important that our pupils are in every day and on time. We do not want them to miss out on a single minute's learning. 

This academic year, we will be working with Lewisham's attendance team and will have our very own Education Welfare Officer based here once a week. 

Her name is Laura Annansingh and she looks forward to helping families ensure pupils reach their attendance goals.
