King's Coronation Celebration Day - Friday 5th May 2023

Dear Parents/ Carers,

 

As I’m sure you will be aware, the Coronation of King Charles take place on Saturday May 6^th. There will be a special Bank Holiday to celebrate the Coronation on Monday May 8^th on which school will be CLOSED for all pupils.

 

To commemorate this historical occasion in school, next week we will be holding a King’s Coronation Celebration Day on Friday May 5^th.

 

On Friday, children will be able to come to school in non-uniform. The theme will be “Red, White & Blue” so we’d like to children to wear clothes that are these colours if possible.

 

During the day, children will be taking part in activities to learn more about Kings Charles and what the Coronation means to people in the UK.

 

At lunchtime, we will be holding our own Coronation Celebration Picnic. Depending on the weather, this will either take place in the playground or indoors. The kitchen is preparing special picnic food for all children in school with drinks and an ice-lolly. We hope all children will take part (including our Nursery children whom we’d like to invite to stay for the picnic until 12.45pm on this day).

 

All children in Nursery, Reception, Y1 and Y2 are eligible for the picnic food free of charge. We will also provide picnic food to those children in KS2 who are eligible for Free School Meals or who have paid for school meals.

 

Children in KS2 who usually bring packed lunches may do so as normal on Friday or, providing parents let the office staff know by the end of Wednesday afternoon, we can provide a picnic lunch for the price of a normal school meal. Providing we are aware, we will make provision for any child who has known allergies.

 

Just a reminder of a few important dates below:
