Jubilee Celebrations

Watch the Jubilee Assembly:

Alongside the rest of the United Kingdom, Bolton School marked Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in June of 2022. The celebrations actually began several weeks before the Jubilee weekend itself with the planting of Jubilee trees as part of the Queen’s Green Canopy throughout May. Eco-clubs and pupils right across the School planted 33 Jubilee trees across the campus: Wild Cherry, Lemon Balm, Rowan, Oak, Horn Beam and Beech trees have been planted as part of the programme. Sixth Form Girls also organised a special Jubilee Tea at the Riley, which saw large numbers of local residents bring in Jubilee and royal regalia dating back to the Queen’s coronation in 1953. Guests enjoyed a themed tea party, featuring Coronation Chicken sandwiches, Patriotic Meringues and Platinum Jubilee Trifle, and shared their memories of the Queen’s unprecedented 70-year reign. The following day, the whole of both Senior Schools listened to an online Jubilee Assembly by Head of Foundation Philip Britton who, along with the Head Girl and Captain of School, reflected on all that had happened over the 70 years that the Queen has been on the throne.
