Lyndhurst Junior School, in North End, is the latest school to join the KGA, whose chairman is Portsmouth-born Sir Roger Fry.

The children helped prepare an afternoon tea to welcome Sir Roger on April 21, the Queen’s birthday.

Headteacher Margaret Beel said: ‘The expertise that KGA can bring to LJSA will help us achieve outstanding Ofsted status.

‘However, I am equally excited by the wonderful learning opportunities we will have access to by joining the King’s family of schools in Spain and South America.’

KGA operates seven British schools educating more than 4,500 students.
