Welcome to this week’s newsletter!
Dear families,
This week, I came across a quote that stopped me in my tracks:
“Someone asked me: ‘What’s your favourite place?’
I don’t have a favourite place.
I have my favourite people. And whenever I’m with them, it becomes my favourite place.”
In schools, we talk a lot about curriculum, behaviour, outcomes, and routines — and rightly so. But this quote reminded me of something just as important: it’s not always the place that matters most… it’s the people in it. At St George’s, we are lucky to be surrounded by good people — children who bring joy, parents who support, and staff who care deeply. That’s what makes our school special.
We all want our children to look back on their primary years and say, “That was my favourite place” — not just because of what they learned, but because of how they felt.
So thank you, as always, for being part of this. For showing up, cheering them on, and helping us create a school where hearts are full and belonging runs deep.
Warmest wishes,
Andy
