The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Trees

Armistice Day

Earlier this year, the School signed up to The Queen’s Green Canopy, a special tree-planting initiative to mark Her Majesty

The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

This project was in conjunction with The Royal British Legion, with 105 saplings kindly donated to the School by The Woodland Trust.

The School received the saplings from the Trust this term and members of the School community, including pupils and staff from both Quainton Hall, our prep school, and John Lyon planted them at Sudbury playing fields.

Our DT department has laser-cut a special plaque for the site where the saplings have been planted, to serve as a wonderful reminder to current and future generations of this historic and significant event. n

On Friday 11th November, the entire School community observed a two-minute silence on Armistice Day. We remembered all those who have lost their lives in conflict and the names of Old Lyonians who were killed in service were read out. John Lyon School remembers. n
