The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, with pupils of St Peter’s School where he rededicated the chapel to mark the 150th anniversary of the York School.
The Archbishop of York made a special visit to a school in the city to help mark a special milestone.
Dr John Sentamu was at St Peter’s School, Bootham, for a ceremony celebrating the 150th anniversary of the school chapel.
He led a rededication service in the chapel before lunching with pupils and staff and touring the school campus.
Dr Sentamu also met pupils who have completed the Young Leaders Award, a leadership programme developed by the Archbishop of York Youth Trust.
The service was complemented by a choir formed by pupils from St Peter’s, St Olave’s Prep and Clifton Pre-Prep.
Dr Sentamu said: “St Peter’s School has historic links with York Minster and the city of York. The chapel is the spiritual heart of the school, and I am delighted that with this service of rededication we can celebrate the Christian faith lived out in every aspect of life at St Peter’s.”
