You could create it using the command posted by Andy, I tested it in the test environment and it proved to be effective.

Thank you so much Andy.

I noticed that I have to add double qoute in case I want to use space like the below:

New-DistributionGroup -Name "announcement Year 9" -DisplayName announcement-year9 -ManagedBy IT -PrimarySmtpAddress ******@XYZ.edu.uk -MemberJoinRestriction ApprovalRequired -MemberDepartRestriction Closed
