Dear Parents and Carers, This week we have seen some amazing learning across the school. The governors and I had an opportunity to walk around the school to see what the children were learning about - we saw children creating their own versions of the moon and plenty of investigating involving shape and fractions. Furthermore, in EYFS, the children shared [...]

This week in school we talked about a new set of school rules. We've come up with them with Mr Fry (the new headteacher). They are these: At Georgeham School we are safe; we are kind; we are respectful; we are hard-working; we are great listeners. These rules do not replace our Learning Values, but they will help us to [...]

It was great to see our cross-country runner in action today, taking part in the Stephen Shields event. They were competing against runners from other schools - there were hundreds of children in each race. We had some very impressive results but even more importantly our pupils showed great determination and resilience. I was also really pleased to stand with [...]
