Everyone at @stgeorgesfirst held their nerve this week despite the weather forecast, and we’re so glad they did! We were delighted to welcome an incredible turnout of children, families and extended families to our annual Summer Eid picnic.

The children looked fantastic in their ...favourite outfits, and it was wonderful to see everyone enjoying the celebrations together. Thankfully, the rain held off, allowing us to make some special memories as a school community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the event such a success.

Please see these exciting opportunities for students and their families over the half term break.
