King's School Rochester marks the Queens Jubilee

It was a day of celebration at King’s School Rochester as the Queen's Platinum Jubilee was marked with activities across the school.

The day began with a Whole School Service under the outstanding Gaia Exhibit in Rochester Cathedral. The Dean of Rochester led the school in prayer and the pupils took a moment to reflect on everything that has happened since Queen Elizabeth ascended the throne in 1953. At lunchtime, a small audience gathered once again under the Gaia Exhibit to enjoy the “Under The Earth” concert. There were beautiful performances of music by Scholars, inspired by the planet we call our home.

The main event was a Whole School Jubilee Celebration on The Paddock which brought everyone together once again to share in prayer, witness the raising of the flag and enjoy some tea and cakes in the sunshine. Cadets from the Combined Cadet Force then performed a spectacular display where they formed a large 70 across the playing field.

The school were even lucky enough to have a local drone photographer - Aerial Imaging South East - capture this once in a lifetime moment.
