Over 700 children and staff waved flags for the Queen’s 90th birthday at a special street party at Belmont Castle Academy in Grays on Saturday.
Principal Mark Jones said: “There was a really great party atmosphere with lots of flag waving and the children dancing and generally having a great time."
"In order to accommodate all 730 children, there were three parties throughout the day.”
