Archie is also the Eco President successor to Head Boy and UK COP26 representative Jack Clark – who graduated from the school to attend The King Alfred School Academy Sixth Form.

In a letter to Archie, TV’s Alan said: “I’m absolutely delighted that you have taken to gardening, especially since it involves the school of someone I know and admired – Jill Dando.

“Do keep on growing things. It is so important and I am cheered to think that you have decided to join me on my mission to spread the word about its importance to others.

“Good luck in all you do”.

Archie said: “Mr Titchmarsh is a hero of mine. I would love to be a TV gardener one day.
