Dewsbury Mayor Masood Ahmed and Lord Lieutenant Iqbal Bhana OBE DL recently visited Thornhill Junior and Infant school to join in on the school’s celebrations for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee
The pupils marked the historic occasion by making bunting and hats, as well as writing personal messages to the Queen and taking part in a virtual London Bus tour.
As part of the event the children learnt all about the Queen’s life and her royal duties, and the school hosted a bake-off competition which received over 100 entries from our supporting families.
During their visit the Mayor and Lord Lieutenant were invited to join a community picnic, which concluded with a group singalong in the school field.
Peter Simons,director of music, culture and ethos at Thornhill, said: “The day was a huge success, made even more special by the visit from the Mayor and the Lord Lieutenant.
“Everyone who took part from within the school and the wider community had a fantastic time, and we’re very grateful to everyone who came together to make it happen.”
Speaking about his visit to the school celebration the Mayor of Kirklees Councillor Masood Ahmed said: “We saw the whole country come together to mark Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and it was pleasure to see the children and staff at the school mark this special occasion.
“The Platinum Jubilee has been a momentous event for the whole of the borough, and I am sure the children and the whole community at Thornhill Junior and Infants school will remember the day for years to come.”
Thornhill Junior and Infant school forms part of the Focus- Trust – a charitable primary schools trust which is based in the North-West of England and West Yorkshire with a vision of providing great schools at the heart of communities where children thrive, achieve and succeed.
