Long Sutton Primary School marks coronation of King Charles III in style

Patriotic pupils enjoyed a colourful celebration – with a string of activities to mark the historic occasion of King Charles III’s coronation.

At Long Sutton Primary School, children teamed up to work on a collaborative piece of art displayed on the fence outside. The project was led by art teacher Keiran Whiting and featured images of British landmarks on a purple flag.

Catering manager Catrina Smith baked more than 400 cupcakes in red, white and blue – and the treats were laid out in the shape of the Union Flag before being handed out.

Pupils also took part in a treasure hunt organised by the friends of the school – and children were awarded a wooden keepsake for completing the challenge.

Head teacher Sarah Gray said: “We wanted to celebrate the King's coronation as it's such a historic occasion. We believe it's so important that our children had the opportunity to make lots of memories with their friends and bring joy to our school community.”

Many pupils also joined the parish council celebrations in the town too.
