Statement regarding the death of Her Majesty The Queen


We are deeply saddened to hear of the death of Her Majesty the Queen. We will always be grateful for her decades of loyal service to the UK and the Commonwealth. As patron of over 500 charities, many in education, she was a dedicated supporter of children and young people.

Our deepest sympathies are with her children, grandchildren and other members of the Royal Family and the Royal Household at this difficult time. As we join them today in mourning, we celebrate the Queen’s incredible contributions to public life throughout her many decades of service.
