Our Value of the month: HEALING


Dear St. George's families, 

It was fantastic seeing such a good turn out for our first meeting regarding setting up a Parent Association. We look forward to moving forward with this and delivering even more community events whilst raising money for our wonderful pupils. 

A big thank you to all Year 1 parents who attended our Phonics Cafe and to Miss Sarris for organising the event. We hope you all learned some valuable ways to support your child at home so we can help our pupils get better together. 

You will see in the news story below that we have now received the report from our SIAMS inspection. We are delighted to say that we were given the highest judgement and that the report outlines the wonderful work the staff undertake for the benefit of our pupils. You will have received the full report via SchoolPing, although it is also attached on the news story below as well as being availbale on our website here. 

We wish you the very best of half term breaks, full of rest and fun, ready for learning on your return.

Mr Janes
