It's certainly that time of the year when we have various bugs and illness going around. Please be mindful that if your child is ill with a temperature, they should be off school until it's gone and they feel better, and any illness that involves D&V, the child should be 48 hours clear from the last bout. There's no requirement [...]
Sadly, we have to close the kitchen for this coming week, due to Covid-19. Please come to school with a packed lunch instead. Covid has certainly arrived at our village school now and we've sent PHE's 'Warn and Inform' letter out to two classes this week. For those who don't know, with staff shortages, we've also had to close the [...]
We've started some Lego sessions at school but we're in need of some sets. Before we purchase these (it'll soon mount up!) we wondered if there were any Lego sets unused on a shelf somewhere in our wider community that could be donated to school? We're looking for any boxsets really, but the age appropriate 5 - 12 would be [...]
What a wonderful day... Simon, from Callington Space Centre, brought the Space Dome to the chapel and we all had a visit throughout the day. We were able to sit back, even lie down, and have a 360° view of our planet, solar system, the space station and much, much more. Here's just a few photos of what we saw [...]

This school year has certainly been the most difficult that I’ve ever had to navigate. We’d already experienced a 6-month teaser in to [...]
What’s on our school’s wish-list and how can you help? [link] So when Santa offers to make a special case for your school (out of his usual wintry seasonable months), you need to get busy and take him up on his kind offer! If your hard-earned cash has been burning a hole in your pocket over the last year, deprived [...]
The DfE have asked that children and parents (and staff) get in touch with us if symptoms start, or there's a positive case of Coronavirus, within two days of being at school. That's Friday and Saturday for symptoms, and a positive result that could possibly be returned as late Wednesday, that you contact us please... at head@georgeham-primary.devon.sch.uk We would then [...]

Just a touch less than two weeks of Remote Provision and then we're all back on the 8th March! I've got to say that I'm looking forward to some normality and seeing everyone back in... and what a term to have this as our school value for the half term - We Are Community! I bet, after a rainy and [...]
