back to the parents' page

Mission statement:  ‘At St. George’s Catholic School we help all our children to grow in mind, body and spirit.’

At St George’s we value parents’ and children’s thoughts and contributions.

Jesus is the Bread of Life

We did a survey asking Class 6 children how they feel pupils in St George’s grow spiritually during their time with us.

Here are some of the children’s quotes:

  • “We go to church to follow God and Jesus.”  Tom
  • “We often learn about the different things that happened to Jesus in the past, especially Easter and Christmas.”  Lauren
  •  “We have masses which Class 6 lead.”  Keziah
  • “We say our prayers every morning and at the end of the day.”  George
  • “We study other religions.” Sam F.
  • “We respect everyone at St George’s as though we are one big family.”   Fin
  • “We make friends with our classmates and share with them.”  Magdalena
  • “In our school we are very kind to each other. We all think about others not just ourselves and we know what is right and what is wrong.”  Chloe
  • “We have 3 golden rules which we have to abide by.”   Joseph
  • “When Christmas comes around the children in the infants do a nativity play and the juniors do a carol service with a tableaux.”  James
  • “At this school everybody comes and leaves school with a smile on their face because it is such a jolly place!”  Georgie

 

Parent’s comments on assemblies and masses:

  • “I think all of the acts of worship have been wonderful – the children participate beautifully and the content is excellent – they give a true sense of the ethos of this school.”
  • “As a parent these are special and very enjoyable events and all very appropriate – well done!”
  • “These are very valuable for reinforcing the Catholic ethos of the school to the parents.  It is also great to see our children enjoying learning through these events.”
  • “Class assemblies have been wonderful this year.  The teacher and class have worked very hard and the ‘morals and meanings’ have been put across in a lovely thoughtful way.”
  •  “The school always provides excellent acts of worship with unique and diverse ideas.  I look forward to them.”
