St. Peter's Head Teacher Gives Advice to Parents About Choosing the Right Primary School for Their Child Paul Griffiths, Head Teacher of St.Peter’s CofE Primary School in Harrogate, has provided advice to parents about choosing the right primary school for their child as the new term begins and thoughts turn towards those who will be starting school in a year’s time. While September marks the start of the new school year with the excitement of new uniform, shoes and seeing friends again, thoughts are also turning to supporting families who have children starting school in September 2024 to make that all-important choice. Throughout this term and leading up to the application deadline date in January 2024, families locally will be considering ‘which primary school should I choose for my child?’ It can feel like a daunting task. But don’t worry, schools are here to help and support you right now. St.Peter’s School on Belford Road in Harrogate is offering every family a dedicated personalised visit and full school tour with Headteacher, Mr Paul Griffiths. Visits are easy to book using their online booking system. They have appointments during the daytime and evening to suit everyone’s diaries. At their convenience, families can visit with or without their children to explore the school and get a genuine feel for what it would be like for their child to join. Because the visits are personalised with one family at a time, parents and family members have the time and space to ask anything they want. The School have been involved in a wide range of improvements over the past few months, including a full renovation of their early years playground and a new ‘nurture space’.
