The Queen’s 90th birthday

The whole of St Andrew’s Prep celebrated the Queen’s 90th birthday with a fabulous tea party on its school fields which was attended by many parents, grandparents and friends of the school and even the Queen herself, albeit, a life size cardboard cutout, joined the festivities. Pupils dressed up in red, white and blue and tucked into a deliciously British picnic. 

The fields were awash with bunting and British flags, Glenn Miller’s music filled the air and there was a lovely atmosphere as pupils picnicked with their teachers while parents and grandparents chatted over a slice of tasty cake and a cup of tea or a glass of Pimm’s.
The afternoon came to a fitting end with a rousing version of happy birthday and the National Anthem.

Headmaster, Gareth Jones said, “What a quintessentially, British way to celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday. It was a fun packed afternoon enjoyed by all.”
