Your Holiday Starts Now

In the run-up to the celebrations this week, pupils have been learning about Kings, Queens, and Coronations as well as the history of the British monarchy and the life of the new King.

Acting Head Teacher James Lee said: “The Coronation celebrations are a great way to bring everyone together to have fun and enjoy the events but they’re also a perfect opportunity for our pupils to learn so much about the history of our nation and the role of the monarchy.”  

The picnic is a free event and is open to all students and families.
