He included the things he likes about his school, the school dinners her prefers and what The Queen would enjoy about a visit to Phoenix Infants.
Parents Adesh Davit-Rullay and Rajinder Kumar said: “After completing the letter, Nikhil was adamant that he wanted to send it to The Queen, so his parents submitted a photocopy to school and posted the original.”

This week, Nikhil received a reply in the post, and he was “ecstatic” that she had read his letter.
Principal Kate Pelazza added: “All staff felt incredibly proud of Nikhil and agreed that the letter was a very kind gesture for a little boy.
“Thank you to Her Majesty, and please remember, Nikhil's offer to visit Phoenix Infant Academy will always stand.”
