Chetwynde school pupils mark Jubilee in style

On Friday staff and students from Chetwynde Primary school celebrated the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in style.

The Rating Lane school, which provides education from children aged three to 16, celebrated by transforming their sports fields into a sea of colour and vibrant voices.

SING: They performed a concert of songs from each era – 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s and modern day - in front of a crowd of family, friends and school staff

Pupils right through from the kindergarten and primary years to senior school dressed up for the decades at the event.

Furness College launched the South Cumbria Multi-Academy Trust in March 2021 in a move to strengthen education across the area.

Chetwynde School, in Barrow, was the first to join the Trust, which will improve the educational offer for young people through shared staff knowledge and expertise, high quality teaching and the college’s world-class facilities.
