Princess Royal opens Slough Langley Grammar’s sixth form centre
Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal, will be the guest of honour at Langley Grammar School, Slough on September 28 to officially open the new state-of-the-art sixth form centre.
During her visit, the Princess Royal will meet the Mayor of Slough, Rashad Butt, before being treated to a tour of the school and entertainment from its students.
She will firstly visit the sports centre and be introduced to the schools assistant head, Paul Adams, who will take her on a guided tour of the sports hall.
All the children and teachers will line the Princess Royal’s route as she walks around the building and she will have the chance to watch students playing netball and tennis on the sports courts.
Parlaunt Park Primary School’s choir will be on hand singing in the courtyard, and pupils will have a chance to talk to Her Royal Highness.
Once in the new sixth form building, which cost £2.75 million to build, a fanfare will play and the Princess Royal will meet the schools head boy and girl, Peter Knowles and Chandni Nakum.
They will show her around the classrooms and common room, before she is seated in the lecture theatre for the unveiling of a special plaque to officially open the centre.
