They’ve got into the Jubilee spirit big style at one York school.

Today, a large and colourful mural celebrating the Queen’s platinum jubilee was officially unveiled at Poppleton Road Primary School.

Taking up the whole of one wall in the school playground, it was created by local artist Sam Jones.

The children helped create the mural

School head Debbie Glover said: “Sam has worked with the children for the last three weeks to produce this wonderful masterpiece.

“She began by gathering all of the children’s ideas about what the Jubilee meant to them and she used these to create this wonderful piece of art, where every child had an opportunity to contribute.”

It will be a lasting legacy of the Jubilee

The mural was made possible by Friends of Poppleton Road who work tirelessly raise money to support the children and the school.

“This wonderful mural has been a fantastic way for the children to celebrate the Queen’s reign and also for the whole school community to leave a legacy for the future generations of Poppleton Road,” Debbie added.
