The words of The Boo Radleys never rung so true as our Year 6s and staff woke up to rising sun on the north Cornish coast. The 7.15 am bell alerted all to be downstairs ready for a morning run or swim. Everyone on time. Everyone well rested. Long may it continue.

“Invigorating”, “Enlivening”, “It’s how I want to start every day”, were all words the children may have said if I had asked them. Instead, their mouths were busy consuming bowls of cereal accompanied by sausages, beans and hashbrowns while I valiantly battled with a coffee machine that refused to lay down its arms.

Some have chosen to watch the Queen’s funeral this morning whilst others will be climbing, hanging and body boarding. All will be paying their respects for the two minutes silence. Another blog to follow this evening.
