Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope everyone is settled back into routines following the summer break.
We have been very impressed with how the pupils have returned and particularly would like to mention our new Year 3 cohort. They are adapting well and learning and following expectations. This is a great start to build upon.
It has been lovely to welcome parents and carers back too, and we hope our new parents have felt welcome to our school.
Special mentions

For being exceptional role models. We have been lucky to have new play sheds and equipment over the summer. Our first day discussed expectations in how to care for the equipment. These three pupils took it upon themselves to monitor this, help pupils and ensure the equipment was all sorted and packed away.

Marcus Richardson
For helping to keep our school environment tidy by litter picking.
Smartphone Free Shropshire
A reminder there is a meeting being held Monday 16th at St. George’s Junior School. This is an opportunity for parents to find out more about ‘feature phones’ and the Smartphone free movement.
A huge congratulations to Tess Burgess, a parent of our school who interviewed for both BBC radio and Midlands today news. It was great to see both our parents and pupils feature in this, coming together as a community to find solutions.

Uniform
A polite reminder that school uniform and PE kit should be worn on appropriate days. The expectation is that the correct uniform is worn for PE. No football shirts or non-uniform coloured items are to be worn (exceptions must be discussed with class teacher).
Jewellery in the form of bracelets and necklaces are not permitted to be worn in school, unless there is a specific reason. This must be discussed with school. Small stud earrings only, which must be taken out or covered up for PE sessions.
Please work with school in setting and adhering to these expectations. If you would like support or help with school uniform, then please make contact with our school office and they will be happy to help.
Clubs
We are really fortunate at St. George’s in that we can offer a wide range of extra-curricular clubs. This is based upon pupil requests and expressions of interest. These clubs can only run if we have sufficient numbers. Currently, we have low uptake for tennis club and early morning circuits. If we do not reach numbers by the end of this week, the clubs will have to be cancelled, which we would like to avoid because we want to offer enrichment experiences. Please make contact with office if you would like to sign up for these clubs.
A big thank you to our PTFA who have sent out their newsletter – lots of work and effort as always to bring our school community together.
I really hope the transition back to school has been positive. As always, should you have any questions or require any support, please make contact with school.
Take care,
Mrs K Lee
Headteacher
