Back To School For York – September 2024

School starts up in just a couple of days! Teachers are getting their classrooms ready for students, parents are counting down the hours and children are no doubt feeling a mixture of excitement and nerves. Hopefully, by now, you are ready for the new school year and have everything you need to start the year with a bang.

We have posted the starting dates and websites here for just a small number of our fantastic schools in York. This way, you can get the latest information on what’s happening at your child’s school ready for the new academic year.

Please check their websites for full up-to-date information.

Supply and uniform lists for most schools are listed on the school’s website. 

Primary school students only need a few supplies to take with them but sadly the lists get longer for secondary school students and differ between schools as some teaching styles are more technology-based learning than others.

In general, here are a few basics you can count on providing your child: backpack/book bag, pencils/pens, erasers, pencil case, tissues and that all-important hand sanitiser. These are just the basics; your child’s list may be much longer depending on the school and year group.

Here’s to gearing up for the new academic year and hoping your child has a great school year (whilst also feeling relieved that Summer holidays are over)!
