School Information

Staff Inset
Staff inset days are days that the teaching staff are working, but pupils are not in school.

School uniform
School uniform is not compulsory at St George’s. A red fleece and a red T-shirt with the school logo are available to purchase from the Marketing office. Gymbags are also available.

School reports
All staff are available to meet parents by prior appointment after school, twice a year after reports have been issued, for the purpose of discussing their child’s progress.

Medical
If your child should become ill during school time you will be contacted and asked to collect him/her.
If your child is involved in an accident of an apparently serious nature, immediate medical help will be sought.
We ask all parents to leave an emergency contact number with the school and to complete the medical questionnaire provided upon enrolment.

PE and Swimming
Early Years have PE within school or outside depending on the weather conditions.
From the Reception class to Year 6, the children are taken once a week by bus to a sports complex where they have either PE or swimming.
In secondary school the students have PE every week all year, and swimming once a week for a term.

Payments to the School
If you have any queries regarding the fees, statements or receipts, please contact the Finance Manager directly by phone (+352 423224), or e-mail financemanager@st-georges.lu. The school bank account for all payments is at BCEE LU76 0019 2455 3244 8000 (SWIFT code : BCEELULL).

Light, non-marking gym shoes are also required for indoor use.
