We are proud to introduce to you our fabulous Restorative Ambassadors.
St George’s CE Primary School is a restorative school and takes a restorative approach to resolving conflict.
Restorative Approach is a term used to describe a way of being, an underpinning ethos, which enables us to build and maintain healthy relationships, resolve difficulties and repair harm when relationships break down.
On Thursday 16th March, our 14 elected Restorative Ambassadors participated in a 2 hour workshop, led by the local authority lead on Restorative Approaches.
The training equipped them with the skills and knowledge they need to be successful Restorative Ambassadors.
The children were presented with their certificates and badges in assembly on Friday morning and began their roles yesterday.
Mrs Mirza and Mrs Everall are extremely proud of the children and are looking forward to working with them.
Congratulations children on your hard work yesterday and achieving your certificates to become St George’s Restorative Ambassadors.
Mrs Everall & Mrs Mirza😊

It was lovely to welcome Bishop Mark and Bishop Sam along with two Melanesian Brothers to church this morning for collective worship with the children. The children asked really good questions about the effects of climate change on Melanesia and the Bishops' faith journeys.
A big thank you to Mrs Langton and the Eco Councillors for organising and leading the questions yesterday morning.
At St George's we are looking at ways to alleviate climate change within our school and local community and how it will affect our planet globally.
HAF is back and ready to give little ones and teens a fantastic experience over the Easter holidays. You will find all of the holiday provider details on our school website https://www.st-georges.stockport.sch.uk/whats-on-in-the-holidays/
The Local Authority have 2 SEND specific providers – Autisk and Active Communities Experiences but all of their clubs are inclusive and will support your child to access their club or will help you to identify a suitable alternative.
Autisk are also running a 1:1 HAF club where children who require 1:1 supervision to participate can access a holiday club. This is by referral only, please contact either Mrs Keleher or Mrs Ellinson to complete this referral.
Please can I also remind families that Jan from Autisk UK will be attending our next SEND coffee morning, 9am on 20.04.23, to give more information on what the group offers for our young people.
SEND Coffee Morning
A BIG thank you to everyone who was able to attend our SEND Coffee Morning yesterday.
Our next meeting will be on Thursday 20th April at 9-10am. We will be joined by Jan Bennett from Autisk. Autisk is a constituted support community group in Stockport offering social groups, workshops, advice and signposting to families who have children with additional needs.
No diagnosis is needed to join their groups as they are very aware that it is hard on the pathway to diagnosis.
Autisk have a fully functional sensory room that can be accessed for free via their social groups and it is also open to use every Wednesday 11.30am-2pm.
They welcome families from all areas of Stockport and surrounding areas. We look forward to chatting more about Autisk at the next Coffee Morning. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions about how the group has applied for funding through charities – something families had asked about this during our meeting in February.
Jan’s attendance at the next meeting has been organised by one of our families - Many thanks go to them for coordinating her attendance at our session. The sharing of knowledge around facilities and support available to our SEND community through our Coffee Meetings has been overwhelming – thanks also go to all who have been able to contribute.
