The Return of the Christmas Fair!, by Mr Nathan

Date: 9th Dec 2022 @ 9:09pm

A lot has changed since St George's last Christmas Fair.

Covid was barely a word. Liverpool hadn't won their 20th league title yet. Australian soap, Neighbours, was still a thing.

A covering of snow meant that the Christmas Fair possessed that authentic winter feel. It was incredible to witness so many members of our community at the fair, enjoying the Christmas spirit by joining in games, activities, getting faces painted, listening to our wonderful choir, purchasing items from our numerous stalls and indulging in hot food and refreshments. We also had a visit from Santa and his elves - amazing!

A genuine and heartfelt thank you to our school community for attending our Christmas Fair. Much gratitude must be given for the efforts of our PTA, volunteers and school staff. They all contributed to ensuring that our first Christmas Fair for three years was an overwhelming success.

Sisters take on a steep challenge for charity, by Mrs Walters

Date: 11th Oct 2022 @ 3:58pm

Two of our amazing children have taken on a major challenge by running up one of the steepest hills in Wallasey 100 times to raise money for charity!

Penny and Lois Conroy have raised more than £450 so far by running up Portland Street and only have 15 runs left to make it to the 100 mark!

All the money raised is for a charity set up by a family friend with bowel cancer and they hope to hit their £500 target soon.

Their friend, Danny De Brabander was diagnosed with stage 4 Bowel Cancer but has set up a charity, Team DDB, to help other people with cancer and has raised almost £100,000.

If you would like to donate some money to their challenge you can visit their Crowdfunder website at:

For more information about Team DDB and the remarkable work they carry out please visit Team.DDB on Facebook.

Foyle Foundation Funding Success!, by Mrs Taylor

Last week, we were fortunate enough to secure a £10,000 grant from the Foyle Foundation for new books for school. We are thrilled to have been selected and have already made big plans with some of our Reading Ambassadors as to how to spend it. These plans include new texts for class and unit libraries, trips to bookshops for our Reading Ambassadors and opportunities for outdoor reading spaces to enjoy at break and lunch times.  Keep an eye out for our newest and most exciting texts over the next few months. 

We would just like to emphasise our gratitude to the Foyle Foundation for this fantastic opportunity - it really will make a difference to our children.

Community Garden August Workshop, by Mrs Cameron-Ivanov

Date: 5th Aug 2022 @ 1:57pm

We have had a lovely morning working in our Will Allen Community Garden. Thankfully, the weather brightened up and we were able to complete plenty of jobs, including weeding, checking for signs of pests, picking and harvesting our fruit and veg, and the best bit, getting to sample what we had grown. 

We enjoyed a delicious brunch, where we sampled some homemade stewed rhubarb, apple conserve and mixed berry compote, as well as strawberries and raspberries. 

Our most successful crops this year have been rhubarb, apples, lettuce, parsley and green beans. All the families who joined us were able to take home what we had grown, and we can't wait to see what tasty meals they make with them.

Science - Enthuse Celebration Event, by Miss Gough-Hughes

Date: 21st Jun 2022 @ 10:26pm

Over the last 18 months, St George's have been working closely with several cluster schools, undertaking an Enthuse partnership with STEM. We have been fortunate to gain this support to enhance our science curriculum within school, delivering engaging and exciting science lessons and collaborating with others to share knowledge. Our aim is to continue to raise the profile of STEM and support our children to see the opportunities available to them in the future.

As part of this partnership with STEM, we held an exciting celebration event at our school, whereby the schools came together to celebrate science. 10 children from each school (years 4-6) were chosen to be the representatives, completing activities including rocket mice, VR, outdoor learning minibeast hunting, floating & sinking etc. They also shared what they have been learning within science, in their school. 

The children had great fun attending this celebration event and they made us all very proud, being excellent representatives for our school. They proudly spoke to governors, our Enthuse coach and various staff members. Well done St George's! 

Opening the Will Allen Community Garden, by Mrs Walters

Date: 16th Jun 2022 @ 3:46pm

Today was a very special day at St George's as we officially opened the Will Allen Community Garden at upper site.

The garden is named after one of our former pupils Will, who sadly passed away after a prolongued illness, aged 14.

The year 6 choir sang as Will's family joined us to mark the opening of the garden - a tranquil and peaceful spot.

We discovered Will had been a keen gardener and we hope the garden will be a sanctuary for many as well as providing vegetables and flowers planted by pupils and families.
