St George's Primary School - Welcome

Dear Visitor,

We are proud to welcome you to our school and this website.   Our aim is that the website is a 'one stop shop' for families.

Across the country all of us have faced challenges to determine how we best respond to the threat of the coronavirus.  St George’s is no different. 

We have loved having our school restored with all children back at school from the 8th March.  We have published a letter for families, explaining our re-opening arrangements.   You can read by clicking here. We have also updated our safety plan. You can read that by clicking here.

Mr Cassidy's family Covid-19 safety presentation can be read by clicking here.  

1.  You can keep up to date  on the school's Covid-19 position and safety plan on our managing coronavirus page.    Also includes link to a letter from Directors of Children's Services and Public Health in Wirral Council.  Letter can be read by clicking here. 

All our families can now order Covid-19 lateral flow test kits for the family to use at home.  You can order postal kits by clicking here or find your nearest collection centre by clicking here. Government information page on home testing can be accessed by clicking here.  

2.  In response to recent Covid-19 changes we have had to change transition day plans.   

• All secondary transition days have now been cancelled for our year 6 children.  These were scheduled for 2^nd of July.  It is unmanageable to have so many children mixing with such an increase in positive covid-19 cases in school age.  Your child’s secondary school will be in touch regarding transition arrangements and summer camps.
• Our transition days (with exception of our current year 6) have been moved to 19^th and 20^th July.  This will allow us to create new bubbles.  2^nd July Transition day has been cancelled.  We will write to you about this in early July. 
• Year 6 will now finish school on 16^th July.  (because of the above arrangements).  We have written to our Year 6 parents about this in more detail.  

3.  All families should be also receiving messages via Scholar Pack.  If you are not getting these please contact us.    Our e-mail address is schooloffice@stgeorges.wirral.sch.uk.

6.  We have set up a remote learning help page using the icons on the top of the page or you can read that by clicking here.   Includes a full remote learning guide that explains what you should expect from home learning.  We hope this is helpful for our families.  It is a requirement from the Department of Education that every school has this guide published.  This can be read by clicking here.

We have also set up an advice page for home learning.  This can be read by clicking here.
