Remembering Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

---

All at Aylesford School are deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Our thoughts and condolences are with the Royal Family at the sad time.

The Queen was an extraordinary role model for people around the world and for everyone at Aylesford School.

Today we had an assembly with all students this morning and held a two minute silence as a mark of respect.

Miss Kelvie talked to Heart Radio this morning about her memories of the Queen visiting Aylesford School in 2019:

The Queen visits Aylesford School

We were very fortunate to have had the Queen visit Aylesford School in November 2019 - just a few months before Covid hit. She landed on our school field by helicopter before visiting the Royal British Legion Village which the school has links with.

She spoke to our students who had been reading with the residents of The Royal British Legion.

One of our students voiced the sentiments of many on that day saying ‘it was the best day of his life!’

Our Queen was a role model and a true inspiration - the epitome of good character - and as a school community we are assembling this morning to think of her and her family
