Royal Invitation for Mr Henneberry, Dallam Headteacher, in Recognition of Education Contribution
Steven Henneberry, headteacher of Dallam School, attended a Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace this week (Wednesday 14 May), to celebrate those working in education and skills. He was accompanied by his wife, Jeanette. Hosted by Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla, Mr Henneberry was nominated by HM Lord-Lieutenant of Cumbria for his contributions to education.
The event, attended by 2,000 guests, was held at the request of the government to thank those working in the education and skills sector. Guests ranged from medical staff who teach to academics and workers from educational institutions.
Mr Henneberry says the day was a mix of celebration, connection and reflection. He spoke with the Yeoman Guards and fellow guests about the incredible work happening across the UK to support young people. Refreshments included Sandringham Estate’s pressed apple juice and ice cream.
In a garden party first, guests were treated to a performances from the British Army Band Catterick and the Band of The Royal Air Force Regiment, including a rousing selection of film and theatre scores, adding to the uplifting atmosphere. Reflecting on the day, Mr Henneberry said:
“It was a great honour to be invited to Buckingham Palace by His Majesty the King. Being recognised alongside so many inspiring individuals was deeply humbling, and a memory Jeanette and I will treasure for a very long time. This recognition reflects the dedication and hard work of the amazing
team at Dallam – it’s a privilege to work with such a committed group of people who care deeply about giving young people the best possible opportunities.”
