Dear Parents and Carers,
It must be the Summer Term: the sun is shining; the children are coming to school glistening with the sheen of suncream on their skin and teachers are busy toiling away in the evenings writing end of year reports! It is a common misconception that things ‘wind down’ at this time of year in schools, but I can certainly confirm that the staff are working as hard as ever, putting in so many additional hours to ensure the children can continue learning and growing right until the end of the school year. With such good role models, it is no surprise that the children are working hard, too.
On Wednesday, the Year 6 children and staff attended the Leaver’s Mass at Clifton and they were a credit to their teachers and their school. It was so wonderful to see all the Year 6 children from the Diocese gathered in celebration of their time at primary school to share their prayers for a successful onward journey to secondary school. We were all so proud of our Year 6’s and I can assure you they represented our school with quiet grace and a real sense of pride. Well done to all involved.
There was great joy this morning as an excitable bunch of Year 2 pupils readied themselves to board their bus and head to Bristol to visit the SS Great Britain. Mrs Carpenter and the Year 2 team had made careful preparations for the trip, and I had a message to say how much fun the day had been. Thank you to the dedicated staff members at our school for providing the children with such wonderful and fun opportunities.
PSG (Parent Support Group) for the Summer Fete
If there are any parents who would still like to offer their support in helping with our school Summer Fete, do get in touch with the school office by emailing office@stgeorgestaunton.uk and your details will be passed on to the PSG. Alternatively, you may see Laura (Hayden in Year 4’s Mum) on the playground at drop-off or after school with a clip board. She has lots of opportunities to offer to parents who are new to supporting the event, so do catch her to have a chat about how you can help. We greatly appreciate your support.
