Greetings to our St George's Primary School community,

As we twirl into another thrilling week of learning and growing together, I am delighted to share some jubilant highlights and commendations from our marvellous school family.

Firstly, let's raise our metaphorical hats to our outstanding kids who have displayed exemplary behaviour and dedication to their work, and pride in the school. Your unwavering commitment to excellence sets a shining example for your peers and brings boundless pride to us all. Well done, you magnificent bunch!

Next, a resounding round of applause is in order for our exceptional staff members who pour their hearts and souls into nurturing the minds of our young charges. Your passion, creativity, and tireless efforts do not go unnoticed. Thank you for being the guiding lights that illuminate our educational journey.

St George's Primary School stands tall as a beacon of educational brilliance, where academic rigour dances harmoniously with a nurturing ethos. Our commitment to fostering a love of learning, values, and personal growth imbues every corner of our vibrant school community. We are not just a school; we are a family, united in our pursuit of knowledge and kindness.

As we tread the hallowed halls of our beloved school, I am reminded of a poignant film quote from "Dead Poets Society": "No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world." Indeed, here at St George's, we empower our kids to believe in the transformative power of their words and ideas, shaping a brighter tomorrow with every lesson learnt.

In the spirit of our school's ethos, I leave you with a timeless biblical quote to ponder: "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." May we continue to nurture and guide our young learners with wisdom and compassion, knowing that our influence today shapes the leaders of tomorrow.

Let us embrace the coming week with open hearts and eager minds, ready to embark on another chapter of shared experiences and joy-filled learning at St George's Primary School.

On behalf of the PTFA, may I let everyone know any orders placed for personalised tea towels, mugs, coasters and tote bags can be collected at the Summer Fair. (It may be worth bringing a carrier bag if several items have been ordered).

(Further arrangements will be made for anyone not attending the summer fair)

Absolute massive thanks to the PTFA for sorting this. Its so kind of them..... thank you. And I know i was baterously oppositional to the idea in the meetings, but Im so grateful for anything and everything you do. 

As we've said on the newsletter some of the old brigade are leaving us at the end of this year - I will miss them tbh. So, if any of you would liek to help reform, and rebuild a next generation of PTFA then come and join us at the next meeting, in the new year! Don't be scared! 

In any event, my thaks to everyone. Than you very much indeed. 

We're putting out a friendly plea for the return of any borrowed school clothing, including those elusive pairs of underwear! Reception families, your help is especially appreciated in tracking these down. If any items have made their way home, we'd love to see them back. Think of it as a mini treasure hunt – every little piece counts! Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
