Freezywater St George's CofE Primary School

On Friday, our school community came together for our Remembrance Day Service to honour the brave men and women who have served our country. It was a very special time as we reflected, listened to hymns and prayers, and took a moment of silence to remember those who showed such great courage.

This links beautifully to our value of the month – Courage. Just as the soldiers showed courage in facing difficult and frightening times, we are learning how we can show courage in our own lives—by standing up for what is right, trying new things, and showing kindness even when it’s hard.

We would like to say a big thank you to all the parents and families who joined us for the service. Your support and presence made the occasion truly meaningful for our children.

Lest we forget.

We were delighted to welcome Father Taemin to school as he joined the School Council to bless our newly created Prayer Space and Prayer Garden. This special area has been designed as a place for quiet reflection, prayer, and peace — a space where pupils and staff can take time to pause, think, and connect with our school’s Christian vision.

During the blessing, the School Council helped to lead prayers and shared their hopes for how the garden will be used by everyone in our community. Father Taemin offered words of encouragement and a prayer of dedication, reminding us of the importance of stillness and spiritual growth.

This morning’s Harvest Festival was a wonderful celebration of generosity, and the spirit of giving — and it wouldn’t have been possible without our wonderful school community. 

We’d like to thank all the parents and carers who donated so generously. From tins and dried goods to toiletries every single item contributed will make a real difference to individuals and families in need in our local area.

It was a joy to see the children taking part with such enthusiasm — singing, sharing, and learning about the importance of gratitude and helping others. These moments truly reflect the heart of our school and wider community.

Thank you once again for your continued support and compassion. Together,

we've made this Harvest not just a celebration — but a blessing to others.
