ST. GEORGE’S CATHOLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL

I visited a wonderful little school yesterday! St George’s Catholic Primary School in York is doing amazing things and it was great to talk to Dee Patton-Statham, the school’s inspirational headteacher and hear and see her passion and commitment to culture and the arts. I also really enjoyed the walk around this magical little school and the chance to meet some of the team. It was also a real pleasure seeing Norman Fowler, a previous headteacher, who I haven’t seen for nearly 18 years! The children attending St George’s clearly experience a rich, rounded, caring and wonderful curriculum offer which I would argue should be the entitlement for every child in York!! Surely every child should go to school and be happy, healthy, safe and successful and the arts and sport are just as important in that offer as literacy and numeracy!
