Dear Parents,

We hope you are all safe and well.

As you will be aware, we are currently open for children of key workers and vulnerable children. Please note the following:

  • children, parents, carers and visitors not to enter the school if they display any symptoms of coronavirus
  • parents and carers must contact the school as soon as possible if they believe their child has been exposed to coronavirus
  • parents please stay 2m apart from each other when dropping off and collecting children
  • children to not bring any equipment into school from home, including school bags, other than their packed lunch and a water bottle
  • parents and carers asked to not come into the school building other than if collecting your child from the office before the end of the school day
  • if coming into the school entrance to speak to the office, only one parent in at a time. Please wait outside until the space is free to ensure social distancing
  • parents and carers are asked to email or ring school if you need to speak to staff

Please see attached poster for details regarding the latest symptoms and how to stop the spread of the virus.

Thank you.

Re-opening for more pupils up-date 22.5.20

Following scientific evidence and through our own risk assessments, St George’s will not open to reception children as planned on 3rd June and it is unlikely nursery will start on 8th June. It is important to wait to see what guidance we will now be given nationally and locally. We do not want to rush this decision as everyone’s safety is vital. We will keep you all updated when we know more. We will continue to provide childcare for key worker families. Thank you for your patience
