Dear St. George's families,

Pupil voice has been in action this week with School Council. They have met and taken the next steps to improve playtimes based on feedback from the students. Have a look at the news item below to find out more.

Next week, it is Children's Mental Health Week. This is such an important theme to highlight, particularly in the times we are currently in. Check out next week's newsletter to see what classes have got up to.

Thank you to all parents who have been accommodating and flexible with our arrangements for Parents' Evening. We have had to change the format in light of positive Covid-19 cases across the school and appreciate your swift responses to booking times for your Microsoft Teams meetings.

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

Mr Janes

Head teacher

This is due to the rising numbers of Covid-19 cases and to ensure you, the children and our staff stay safe.

Please make sure you have responded to the message you will have received on SchoolPing to book your slot.

If your child is not aware of their Teams login then please phone the office.

Safer Internet Day

Next week, it is safer Internet day. Across the school, pupils will be accessing safer internet sessions as part of their computing curriculum.

Children's Mental Health Week

Next week is Children's Mental Health Week. Miss Windett and our Well Being Ambassadors have activities and an assembly planned to raise the profile of mental health across the school.

If you would like to talk around the subject at home, please visit PLace2Be's website for some ideas - here.

World Book Day

This is a reminder that World Book Day is just around the corner.

We will be doing lots of reading activities at school on the day.

We will also be asking pupils to come dressed as their favourite book character. Please try your best to make sure that your child is wearing an outfit of a book character. This does not have to cost money - often the best outfits are made from items of clothing you have around the house.

Have a think about who your child could come as!
