January 2021- Return to school
Dear parents/carers
I’d like to wish you all a Happy New Year and we pray that 2021 brings health and happiness to all families in our community.
I am sure you are aware of the current speculation in the news about primary schools reopening next week.
We all want schools to be open safely as soon as possible. However, teaching unions are concerned about the current rate of transmission and that the new variant might be more prevalent amongst younger people than the previous variants.
Governors and senior managers want to guarantee safety for our children, their parents, our staff and their families.
If we are unable to fully open on 5th January, we will remain open for Key Worker parents and vulnerable pupils.
If you are a Key Worker parent and sent your child to school during the first lock down, you are already registered with us and have Key Worker status. We still need to know if you are wanting to send your child into school from Tuesday.
If you are a new parent or have changed role and would need your child to attend from 5th January could you please contact school office@stgeorgesrcprimary.co.ukwith Key Worker as the email heading stating how many days you may require.
Please also provide proof of your Key Worker status attached to the email.
We are working alongside the Local Authority and will keep you informed of any changes to the current situation as soon as possible.
Thank you for your continued support,
Mrs Alison Miller
Return to School September 2020
Dear Parents and Carers,
We hope that you and your families continue to be safe and well at this time
We are very much looking forward to safely welcoming all of our children back to school on 7th September.
Nursery and Reception parents, you have your individual times and days for your children’s return, week beginning 14 th September.
During this unusual period of enforced lockdown, our children will have missed their school friends, teachers and the daily routine that our school offers. We have certainly missed all of our fantastic children.
I wanted to write to you all to reassure you about the measures that we have taken to keep your children safe.
If you scroll down on the website, you will see our Risk Assessment, Parent Guidance and the revised Home/ School Behaviour document.
We are asking that you read these document carefully and go through the checklist at the back of the Home/School document, sign it and return it to school with all relevant information to the school office, via e mail.

IT IS VITAL THAT WE HAVE UP-TO-DATE EMERGENCY CONTACT NUMBERS
A reminder that any family returning from a trip abroad to a country on the government quarantine list, then you and your family must self-isolate for 14 days. (Links to quarantine lists can be found on our web-site.)
Once again I would like to thank you for your continuous support through this most unprecedented and challenging time. Please can I ask for your patience and understanding with staff, as we all adjust to a new way of working.
I look forward to welcoming you all back in September.
Mrs Alison Miller (Head Teacher)
