History
Canon Lee was built in Clifton to serve the North west Suburbs of Rawcliffe, Clifton and Skelton. The doors opened in 1941 the first headmaster was Mr J Storey, and because of the War the school was also used as a Hospital and Refuge Shelter (hence why it has such wide corridors)
In 1972 the first extension was built to accommodate the large amount of pupils and to bring the school up to date this included a gym science labs maths and textile classrooms. It was extended again at a cost of £4 million in 1999 to accommodate the influx of students when Queen Anne's School closed.
The school was placed in special measures following an Ofsted inspection in 2015. In September 2016 it was announced that Canon Lee would be renamed as the Vale of York Academy as part of a series of changes that include becoming part of Hope Learning Trust, York.
