A SCHOOL hosted a special launch event to share ideas for the Platinum Jubilee Schools’ Week.
The Windsor Boys’ School saw teachers and representatives from many Windsor schools to discuss ideas for Her Majesty’s celebrations.
The aim of Schools’ Week, which will run from May 23 to May 27, is to give students a chance to work together on projects outside the classroom.

Councillor John Story, the Mayor of RBWM, gave his ideas for the Schools’ Week and invited 70 primary school children to a Mayor’s Tea Party at the Guildhall.
Cllr Story said: “An exciting programme of Platinum Jubilee events and other celebrations to mark Her Majesty’s 70 years of service are planned across the Royal Borough, and we want the whole community to be involved.
“Jubilee Schools Week is an important part of the programme and an excellent way to involve local young people, ahead of the main weekend of celebrations in June.
“I was very pleased to attend the launch and I hope lots of schools and young people will get involved and contribute ideas.”
The event began with The Windsor Boys’ School headteacher, Sean Furness, and chair of the Windsor Platinum Jubilee Committee, Graham Barker.
The pair outlined a broader plan of how the community will celebrate Her Majecty’s Platinum Jubilee this year.
And James Manwaring, director of music for Windsor Learning Partnership, said his vision is for a busy week with all schools working together on many activities.
Guests at the launch also enjoyed musical performances from pupils Johnny Slade and Annie Higton.
