Four York schools are on top of the world today.
Archbishop of York’s CE Junior School, Dunnington CE Primary School, Escrick CE Primary School, and Wheldrake with Thorganby CE Primary School have all been awarded World Class School status.
The schools are all part of the South York Multi Academy Trust – and it has been named one of only six trusts nationally to be awarded World Class Status.
The World Class Schools Quality Mark was established in 2018.
The charity says it has “a unique assessment framework which assesses the students, not the school, for their demonstration of World Class skills and competencies”.
Fulford School was awarded the World Class School Quality Mark earlier this year.
Chief executive of the South York trust Steve Lewis said: “In achieving world class status, our children and young people have demonstrated a commitment to achievement, a knowledge and understanding of the world around them, the power of community and their developing skills as learners and leaders.
“The award focuses fully on the experiences, skills and attributes of the children and young people in our schools. It is our children and young people who are world class.
“We as a trust are very proud to be celebrated at a national level. Most of all we are and continue to be, very proud of our world class children and young people.”
