ST MICHAEL’S PRIMARY SCHOOL VISITS “They’re stunning young ladies. They look elegant and conduct themselves beautifully” Mrs Anderton, Headmistress of St. Michael’s Primary School
24
Throughout the Lower Sixth year, the girls are given the opportunity to connect with the community by regularly visiting St Michael’s C of E Primary School in Sunninghill along with a number of other local Primary Schools to support younger children with their reading.
With a focus on Talking for Writing in primary education, the girls are giving these young children an invaluable opportunity to talk with an older peer, encouraging them to engage with different texts, and helping them develop invaluable questioning skills.
It is absolutely evident, speaking to both the girls and Mrs Anderton, the Headmistress of St Michael’s, that this opportunity is deeply beneficial for all involved. “We love the girls” was Mrs Anderton’s enthusiastic opener, going on to explain how respectful, courteous and helpful our girls have consistently proven to be.
The girls really enjoy the adoration of the younger children and are learning to control the more spirited ones! As they work hard towards their A levels, these visits are both a welcome change of focus for the girls but also help to grow their self esteem and develop the ability to relate beyond the walls of St George’s; the perfect preparation for a successful future.
