Richard McCann’s mother was the first woman to be killed by Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe.
On Monday (September 2) Richard was at York Barbican as one of the keynote speakers at Ebor Academy Trust’s first whole trust staff training event.
Ebor comprises 25 primary schools in York, Selby, Hull and the East Riding and on the Yorkshire Coast and its “Ebor Together” event was held on the first training day at the start of the new school year, to launch its Year of Our People initiative.
It also emphasised the importance of all staff irrespective of their role, said Gail Brown, chief executive.
“We have just marked our tenth anniversary,” she said, “and thought this would be a fitting way to welcome our second decade of service to our children by explaining our key priorities – early years, community and children’s wellbeing," said Gail.
