Well done to Year 6 and now best of luck to Year 2 next week, although we are always mindful not to make too much of this to the children so that they don't feel unnecesarily stressed. And of course the wonderful Lower Phase staff will be there to support and help them throughout.

This is the background to how we came to receive it at the time:
"Some of you will have seen the ITV documentary ‘The Queen’s Green Planet’ which was produced by ITN Productions. When the film was shown to members of the Royal Family at Buckingham Palace the production team and guests were each given a tree sapling to mark the occasion. St Michael’s parent, and Group Managing Director of ITN Productions, Mark Browning has donated his tree to St Michael’s. Some of our pupils and eco-warriors will be planting it in the school grounds in the coming weeks."
