Eager to celebrate the King’s coronation, students, staff and parents at Northchapel Primary School, in Petworth hosted an afternoon of fun and festivities on Thursday, May 4.

The day featured a coronation-themed tea party for which everyone was invited to dress up in red white and blue, and the whole school performed a piece written especially for the occasion.

Written by composer Nicki Sisman, the song, called Coronation Carol, was met with enthusiastic praise from parents and teachers – including school music coordinator Anneli James, who said: “I am so proud of the children, they sang their hearts out.”
