A WEATHER vane has been returned to its rightful home on top of a York primary school after more than 15 years on a pub.

When St George's Secondary School closed in 1985 the weather vane was put on top of The Phoenix Inn pub on George Street. As part of the 150th celebrations of St George's Primary School, the weather vane was been placed on the roof of the school, with the help of the pub landlords Barry and Barbara Stickney, local builder Pat Graves, John Smiths Brewery and head teacher, Helen Glendinning.

She said it was great to have the weather vane back and it was the crowning glory of the celebrations.
