The school community was invited to take part in the Queen's Green Canopy initiative whereby we were invited to plant a tree to mark Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee. Mrs Snowdon helped students plant the tree near the flagpole before spending a few moments reflecting on Her Majesty's reign. ![](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/images/news/MG_0685-scaled.jpg) A large platinum planter which commemorates the project will be placed in the main reception. Mrs Crawshaw, headteacher of the large Hartlepool secondary school and sixth form college said: “We were overjoyed that Mrs Snowdon could visit us to plant the tree with our students' "Our tree will be nurtured, and in the coming years, will flourish into a lasting memory of the late Queen for our community." ![](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/images/news/MG_0709.jpg) [Latest News](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news/tag/latest-news) [ Letter to Parents/Carers: 20.01.2023](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news/2023-01-20-letter-to-parents-carers-20-01-2023) [Year 13 Parents Evening – Thursday 9th February 2023 ](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news/2023-02-01-year-13-parents-evening-thursday-9th-february-2023) ### News & Gallery - [Gallery](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/photo-galleries) - [News](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news/tag/latest-news) - [Newsletters](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news-gallery/newsletters) - [Parent Bulletins](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/news-gallery/parent-bulletins) ![The English Martyrs Catholic School and Sixth Form College](https://files.schudio.com/the-english-martyrs-catholic-school-and-sixth-form-3/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### The English Martyrs Catholic School and Sixth Form College Catcote Road Hartlepool TS25 4HA 01429 273790 ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/EnglishMartyrsSchool/) - [X](https://twitter.com/ems_hartlepool) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@TheEnglishMartyrsSchool) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/ems_hartlepool/) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 The English Martyrs Catholic School and Sixth Form College School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://ems.bhcet.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
