Changes at converted York primary
From York Press:
Robert Wilkinson in Strensall became York’s first primary academy with Haxby Road to follow close on its heels on February 1. Both schools opted out of local authority control and formed the Ebor Academy Alliance.
The York Press reports: 'Executive head Richard Ludlow said: "Initially the biggest change was changing staff and now it’s changing the provision in terms of expertise. We have a new head appointed, Zoe Lightfoot, and three assistant heads working here and a deputy head working as part of a change team who are driving things forward..."
He added: "We have a link-up with York St John University under the School’s Direct Training scheme with 13 initial teacher training students based here while they do their training"...
Another change at the school is lengthening the school day until 4.30pm for the older children from Monday to Thursday
The alliance has also agreed a deal with The Jorvik Group of attractions, the organisation behind the city’s Viking Centre.
