York school to become specialist arts college
January 26, 2005 11:34 AM
Cllr. Carol Runciman, Executive Member for Education, is delighted to hear the news of the award of Specialist Arts College status to Canon Lee School. This designation will bring extra funding to the school to develop its work in areas such as Drama, Dance and Art, which are already of a high quality. The government assessors who visited the school recognised this and their assessment took account of the school's plans for the future.
A new Drama studio and new classrooms will now be built and the school will continue to work closely with the local community and other schools in the area - both primary secondary.
Cllr. Runciman said:
"This announcement acknowledges the excellent work in the Arts that is a strength of Canon Lee School. York's secondary schools have a proud record of gaining specialist status and this is yet another recognition of achievement for our city. It provides a first class opportunity for the school to undertake more work with young people and the wider community.
"I would like to congratulate all those concerned and in particular, the staff of the school. I look forward to seeing the work they do developing in the years to come."
