Head Teacher’s Welcome
Welcome to St. George’s School web site. We hope that, through its pages, you gain an insight into the life and work of our school.
Our School’s History
Although girls had been educated at the Bar Convent since its inception in 1686 the first public Catholic School in York was opened by the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1844 on their premises in Blossom Street and called ‘St Mary’s Day School’.
Welcome to St. George’s RC Primary School, York
St. George’s is a Roman Catholic Voluntary Aided school serving the Parish of St.
George, and situated in a mainly residential area on the south side of the City of
York. The school is for boys and girls aged 3-11 with an Early Years Unit for 3-5
year olds.
The pupils come from a wide range of backgrounds and many are drawn from
outside the parish because parents, although not Catholics, are attracted by the
school’s inclusive and caring ethos.
