Welcome to St George's School (Updated September 2022)
This is the school day at St George's School. Please arrive on time and only keep your child off school if they have significant illness.
My child has a new persistent cough, or is hot to touch, or has loss or change in taste or smell. What do I do?
- You should isolate your child until they are feeling better, we normally ask for this to be five days since falling ill. If they take a test that shows them to be 'negative', they may attend school if well enough.
- They should be kept away from school for more than five days if they continue to be hot to touch and not tested.
My child has a positve LFD Test result at home, but is not showing symptoms. What do I do?
- You should isolate your child for up to 5 full days (Day 1 being the first day after testing)
School attendance
Children and young people must continue to attend school unless they develop symptoms likely to be COVID-19 or have tested positive. We continue to aim for at least 96% attendance across the school.
Special Events
The school has reintroduced mass attendance events at the school. Attendees should be aware that social distancing may not be possible.
Woodlands Times (EYFS and KS1)
Gates Opened for Start of the Day Registration : 8:40am
Families use current ‘one way drop off’ system, entering the North Gate and exiting the East Gate. Please feel welcome to drop your child off at the classroom door between 8:40am and 8:55am during the registration period. The end of the day is staggered to allow for the safe handing over of every child.
Day End : From 3:00pm to 3:14pm. This provides a school day between 31h 40m per week and 32h 50m per week.
Towers Times (KS2)
The gates will open at 8:40am, and children will be able to enter the site. The playground will be supervised by a member of the school team, and your child will enter the school straight away for registration.
Gates Opened : 8:40am (South Year 3, West Year 4, East Year 5, North Year 6)
Families bring their children to the gate of their youngest KS2 child. All KS2 children in that family can enter via that gate, there is no need to drop your Key Stage 2 children off and separate gates.

Families should feel free to move through the site in order to collect different children. Please note that the gates will not be supervised by members of the school team, and all parents and carers retain responsibility for their own children on site, and must keep them closely supervised. Exit times are staggered to enable the safe hand over of every child being collected. This provides a school day between 33h 20m per week and 33h 40m per week.
To assist safety:
- Do not drive your car close to the schools. Please do not drive in:
- Canterbury Road (the school end)
- Barrington Road
- Claudius Road
- Grimston Road
Please leave these roads free for adults more space to be socially distanced, allowing families with children more space on the pavements.
Your child should not attend school if:
- They have tested positive for Covid-19 on a LFT test (home type)
- They are significantly ill (e.g. vomiting or diarrhoea)
Take care everyone,
Mr Carl Messer (Headteacher)
