With the excitement of the 2026 World Cup building, this is a fantastic opportunity to encourage children to combine their love of football with a love of reading!
Laburnum House has a wonderful selection of football-themed books that can inspire even the most reluctant readers. From football legends and inspiring biographies to exciting stories about the beautiful game, there is something for every young football fan.
Please take a look at the collection and see if there is a book that might spark your child's interest:

Culture Day Thursday 21st May 2026
Thu 14 May 2026Dear Parents and Carers,
We are excited to be celebrating Cultural Diversity Day at school on Thursday 21st of May and would like to invite all children to take part in this special event.
On this day, children are welcome to come to school dressed in clothing that reflects their culture, heritage or nationality. This could include traditional clothing, colours representing their country, or clothing that is meaningful to their family background.
Throughout the school, we will also be creating cultural showcase displays to celebrate the wonderful diversity within our community. These displays may include flags, maps, photographs, traditional fabrics, artefacts and interesting facts about different cultures around the world.
We would greatly appreciate any contributions families may wish to share to support the displays. If you have any items, photographs or information about your culture that you would be happy for us to display, please send them into school with your child.
We are looking forward to a joyful and enriching day where children can learn from and celebrate one another’s cultures and traditions.
Thank you for your continued support.

Letter from the Headteacher
Tue 12 May 2026Important information for Parent/Carers
RE: Children using age-inappropriate Social Media
Dear parents and carers,
This letter is to inform you of important changes to our rules.
It has come to our attention that children in the school have been using age-inappropriate social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Instagram and TikTok. All of these platforms have age restrictions far higher than primary school aged children.
These age restrictions are in place for good reasons. Every year at our school we have witnessed distressing and dangerous use of social media where children have been using bad language, making threats and bullying others. Whilst this problem is a country-wide issue, we have decided to take a strong stance on this matter.
From next week (Monday 18th May) the school will be placing a ban on this usage of age-inappropriate Apps. We cannot do this alone without your support. I have spoken to many parents about this issue in the last few weeks and I have received a great deal of support for this move.
From Monday 18th May 2026, any child found to be on age-inappropriate chat groups (whether the conversations are positive or not) will receive an automatic sanction.
We have spent a great deal of time in recent years dealing with the consequences of online bullying and inappropriate behaviour. We have witnessed children’s mental health and well-being and, in some cases children severely negatively affected in many ways.
I would ask all parents to support this decision as we have your children’s safety and well-being at heart. In the meantime, I advise all parents to keep a close eye on their children’s online usage.
Thank you all for your continued support.
Yours sincerely
Chris Harrison
Headteacher

Easter message from the Headteacher
Thu 26 Mar 2026Easter Message for the school community at George Carey Primary School from the Headteacher
Dear school community,
As we enter into the Easter period I would like to remind everyone of the true message of this celebration. Easter is linked to new life and new beginnings, often in the form of eggs, lambs and the countryside springing to life again following the winter. This link is in recognition of Jesus’ death and resurrection. This is a special time for Christians. I wish you all a very happy Easter break. Enjoy your family time together and the gift that this brings.
John 11:25-26 ‘I am the resurrection and the life’, says the Lord. ‘Those who believe in me will never die.’
