The talented team of St. George's are all very ambitious for children to achieve and become the best they can be, and you will find your child making progress every day in many areas. This will include all academic subjects, sport and the creative arts, and we look forward to sharing their successes with you.
We have a holistic approach to education and want to include you as parents and carers as much as possible in your child's school journey. For example, you will be invited to many parent and child learning opportunities, including spending lesson time with your child.
You will also be invited to meetings designed to show you how to support your child with reading by our Reading Leaders and will receive invitations quite early in the new academic year. If there is any other area of school life you would like to know more about or participate in, please arrange to see myself or your child's class teacher.
