CENTENARY reunions at a York primary school have been delayed due to school inspections.

It had been intended to hold the reunions for ex-pupils of Haxby Road Primary School on two dates during next month.

But head teacher Nick Long said: "The school has learned that it is to be inspected shortly before these dates and, therefore, it is gearing itself up for that week rather than the reunions."

He apologised for any inconvenience, adding: "We intend to celebrate to the full in September."

The inspection week starts on June 21.
