Headteacher Isabel Stubbs said: "It is a time of reflection and change and we look forward to our future with a King as our monarch. It is an important time in our history and one in which can all share the joyful as well as the moments of quiet reflection.

"The children at Cecil Gowing have often written letters to our royal family on special occasions and the last time we wrote was to send our kind wishes to Her Majesty on her Platinum Jubilee.

"Each child drew a picture of themselves, we wrote a letter together and were delighted when we received a reply.

"On the day after we heard the sad news, I held an assembly and we remembered all the joyful moments of our Queen’s jubilee celebration.

"We talked about the songs we sang and our playground street party and then drafted a letter to our King.

"We welcomed him to the throne, sent our kind thoughts on the loss of his mama and wished him a long and happy life.

"We look forward to a visit to Norwich by the King and know it will be a memorable and happy occasion."
