As we open the final newsletter of the year, although I will write to you next week, I am filled with gratitude and pride for our incredible community. Our Year 6 children recently celebrated their Confirmation, a moment of faith and promise that echoes Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." This sacred milestone exemplifies the spiritual growth we've nurtured together.
Year 1’s adventurous trip to Eureka and Year 3’s exploration of Ribchester brought learning to life in the most vivid ways. These excursions not only expanded their knowledge but also sparked joy and curiosity, demonstrating that education extends beyond the classroom. Our ukulele concert showcased the joyful talents of our pupils, filling the halls with music and pride.
I am thrilled to announce that our SATs results across all phases of the school are phenomenal. While SATs are perhaps more useful as a test of the school than individual children, and despite some faults in the system, all indicators are tremendous, and the kids themselves have done tremendous. This is a testament to the coruscating efforts of our staff and children. The dedication, hard work, and enthusiasm shown by everyone have truly been extraordinary.
To all parents, staff, and governors, your dedication and support have been the backbone of our success. Much like the Avengers assembling to protect and uplift, our team—our family—works together tirelessly for the benefit of our children. The collaboration, commitment, and mutual respect we share create an environment where every child can thrive.
As we gear up for the weekend, let's wish England all the best in the Euro final! The success of our female football team cannot be forgotten, but we are all very much behind the lads as they aim for similar glory. To make sure everyone can enjoy the match, children are welcome to come to school at their normal time on Monday or any time up to 10:30am if they have a late night celebrating.
Thank you for making St. George's a beacon of community spirit and educational excellence. As we conclude this academic year, let’s reflect on our achievements with pride and look forward to a future filled with promise and possibility. Here’s to another year of brilliance, growth, and joy at St. George's!
With warmest regards,
Andy
