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

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



Dear St. George's families, 

Our culture statement at St. George's is a simple one:

We are fun. We are together. 

This week our 'togetherness' has been exemplified in many ways.

You will see below our endeavours to raise money for a good cause by running a mile together. Not only were we 'together' as a school in that action, but were also 'together' with two other schools in our family of MAT schools. We were also joined by the Executive Director of Education for the Church of England. 

On top of that, our week began with us being 'together' at St. George's Church, where we had our Harvest Festival. A very big thank you to everyone who contributed to our collection. 

Finally, we were 'together' as a learning community during our open classrooms, where we invited all families in to see our classrooms and children's learning. It has been magnificent seeing our culture statement being realised so vividly. 

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

Mr Janes

Reminders

Black History Month 2021:

Volunteers Wanted!

October is Black History Month and as part of our learning we would really like to invite in members of our parent and wider community who have black heritage to speak in an assembly. 

We believe that if our pupils can 'see it', they can 'be it' and that we have many positive role models in our community who can inspire our young pupils to go on and be black history makers.

Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 Parent Phonics Workshop

On Thursday 21st October, we have a parent phonics workshop. This is a slight change in date so please add it to your calendar. 

On the afternoon, you will have the opportunity to hear from Mrs King, our English Lead, on how we teach phonics and early reading at school. 

At the end of the workshop, we will invite your children to the hall so you have some time to do some of the reading tasks there and then with your child! We look forward to seeing you all there.
