“Today is the saddest of days for our country, the world’s greatest role model has ceased being a constant in all our lives, and it is with profound sorrow that we mourn the death of Her Majesty the Queen, Elizabeth II - Elizabeth the Great.
She was timeless, selfless, virtuous, wise and the embodiment of duty and British values. For our great nation and for many across the globe, she was also an unwavering ‘strength and stay’ in an ever-changing world. We have lost the finest monarch in our history, and we will in the days, months and years ahead remember and revere a remarkable Queen, who made an unassailable contribution to humanity, and whose life and legacy we must cherish, learn from, remember and celebrate. The second Elizabethan era has sadly ended and in her own words ‘grief is the price we pay for love’.
God Save The King”
John Forsyth, Chairman, Forfar Education

Nursery and Science Club entered Bournemouth in Bloom's Competition to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee!
We thought really carefully about what theme we wanted for our planter and the children decided that as the Queen never wears dark colours, we would have lots of bright colours in our planters!
We were then invited to meet the Mayor at the Town Hall to receive our certificate and plaque.
Well done to Nursery and Science Club!
