Compassion
This means resolution, resolve, willpower. “Stand firm, and you will win life” (Luke 21:19)
This means regard highly, value, honour. “And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them” (Luke 6:31)
This means mutual trust and support. “Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth" (1 John 3:18)
This means the process of being given passion and/or ideas for a task. “I can do all things through him who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13)
This means being outstanding or extremely good. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord" (Colossians 3:23-24)
This connects us with each other. “We who are many, are one body in Christ”(Romans 12:5)
This means having a deep awareness and sympathy for another's suffering. “When Jesus went ashore, He saw a large crowd and He felt compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things" (Mark 6:34)
Partnership with parents
- At St George the Martyr we value our parent community and the contributions which they make towards their children’s learning: from attending ‘coffee mornings’; working alongside their children in class; and taking part in our community events.
- All parents are invited to attend ‘Parent Information Coffee Mornings’ which focuses on a different topic such as healthy living, positive use of the internet or strategies to support learning of phonics, writing and maths at home.
- In order for the parent community to experience and understand the strategies used in their children’s classrooms, we invite our parents in to work alongside their children. This helps the parents to support their children at home when completing homework, mirroring the strategies used in the classroom.
- We invite parents to support us on class visits out to galleries, museums and workshops.
- Throughout the year, St George the Martyr hosts a range of community events: ranging from ‘Healthy Heart Day’, Family fancy dress discos and a summer BBQ. These are popular events, which would not run as smoothly as they do without the support from parent volunteers. These events are an opportunity for the whole school community to come together and celebrate its successes.
