Each class at Clenchwarton Primary chose a Commonwealth country to study and celebrate as part of the school’s Coronation festivities, which saw the building decorated with bunting the children had made.

Pupils started the day with a Coronation assembly, before enjoying a picnic on the school field, followed by a ‘street party’ featuring a range of themed activities.

“Understanding and celebrating the King’s Coronation is incredibly important for the children,” said Assistant Head, Anne-Marie Waterston. 

“It embraces the concept of British values, and what it means for us to have a monarchy. It also provides an opportunity to celebrate diversity and explore the countries of the Commonwealth.”
