Christian Values

"Encourage one another and build each other up." 1 Thessalonians 5.11 Ysgol St George is a Church in Wales Voluntary Controlled School. We have a Christian ethos which underpins everything we do. Collective Worship takes place every day. We come together on Monday mornings and Thursday and Friday afternoons, we also hold class collective worship on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. On the final Friday of every month, we have a church service in St George’s Church. This service is led by the children and parents and families are invited to attend. We have tea and coffee in the church crypt afterwards. We believe RVE and Spirituality is part of a broader process of education which helps children to make sense of the world and how they relate to it. We aim to: • Create, within a Christian setting, a secure and vibrant learning environment where everyone feels included and has the opportunity to shine. • Create an atmosphere where standards of teaching and learning are constantly in view and transparent. • Provide an environment where all members of our community are challenged and given the chance to grow and thrive. • Ensure that everybody is aware of how they learn best, how to improve and apply their skills to new situations. • Give opportunities to teach and learn positive Christian and human values that will shape them for life. • Be at the heart of the community, working in partnership to provide an inspiring and motivating learning experience for all. • Celebrate every achievement and demonstrate a pride in ourselves, each other and our school.

That just shows how they build each other up and encourage each child to keep going, do your best, and be the best version of themselves." "I see and hear a lot about the encouragement that is given to the children from the staff, and the encouragement that is given from the children to each other." "I think what is great about Ysgol St George is it's a small enough school that there is a "family feeling" to it. A close community feeling. I think it's possible to have each student (and teacher) encourage one another and build each other up."
