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 all Catholics, are attracted by
the school’s inclusive and caring ethos.

Here at St. George’s we celebrated the Royal Wedding by holding our own “street party” on the playground. Luckily the weather was kind to us and we enjoyed an afternoon of party food, music and dancing, as well as lots of other Royal Wedding activities such as designing a dress for Kate Middleton. We made sure that we all looked the part too, by wearing red, white and blue for the day.
