We are delighted to share that Angela O’Rourke, Headteacher, was nominated by the Department for Education to attend a Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace in recognition of her outstanding contribution to education.

The event took place on Friday 8 May 2026 and brought together guests from across the country who have made a significant impact within their communities and professions.

The occasion was made even more memorable by the attendance of members of the Royal Family, including Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, Prince Edward and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, along with Zara Tindall.

Angela was accompanied by her perfect companion, Sarah Lettis, Director of Operations, making the day an especially memorable and joyful occasion to share together.

This prestigious invitation was a wonderful recognition of dedication, commitment and service to education, and we were incredibly proud to celebrate this remarkable achievement.
