Week 21: 11 FEBRUARY 2026

Have a great half term!

Dear Parents and Carers,

As we come to the end of this half term, I would like to thank you once again for your continued support. At York High, we know that everything we achieve is the result of a true partnership between staff, students, parents and carers, and we are very grateful for your ongoing involvement.

It has been an incredibly busy few weeks, and I’m sure our students (and staff!) are ready for a well-earned break. I wish you all a restful and enjoyable half term holiday, and I have everything crossed that we may even see some blue sky!

We look forward to welcoming students back for the start of the next half term on Monday 23 February.

Warmly,

Gavin Kumar
Principal
