Unfortunately a parent of a Y5 pupil has informed us today of a positive Covid test. Fortunately the child is doing well which is very positive news.  

We have texted all Y5 parents already this morning which will be followed by an emailed letter today. All Y5 children MUST now isolate. We will confirm the dates of isolation and return to school for Y5 pupils in the emailed letter.  

Siblings and families of Y5 pupils do not need to isolate.  

Please direct any questions to the admin email address which is being checked daily.

Thank you for your ongoing support. As you can imagine, this is a difficult situation which we are working through with the support of Telford and Wrekin’s Health Protection Hub.

Unfortunately we have had a staff member in Y5 confirmed as testing positive for Covid-19. In collaboration with Telford and Wrekin’s Health Protection Hub, we have spoken directly to a small group of parents whose children have been in close contact with the member of staff. Their children will need to isolate for 14 days. We have also spoken to any staff who have been in close contact for them to isolate.

As far as we are aware, there are no other implications for our school at this time but we will contact parents immediately should this change in the future.

Dear Parents,

I understand there has been a discussion about boots in school on social media. I am emailing everyone the school’s Uniform Policy which was sent out to all parents in the summer term and can also be found on this website. We kindly ask that children wear black school shoes and not boots or trainers please. If your child wears the PE Uniform each day, they should wear black trainers please.

The policy states what we would like to happen but by law we cannot actually enforce this. I do hope however that you will continue to support us as a school and help us to be as smartly presented as we can for each school day. It is lovely to see the children being proud of belonging to the St George’s Family in their school uniform.

Can I also clarify that if your child wears earrings to school that they should be small, plain studs and that they will need to remove these themselves for PE lessons. School will not be held responsible if their earrings are lost so I would suggest that they don’t wear any on PE days.

Many thanks for your continued support in this matter.
