Sun, Sea and Surf for Year 6

Class 13 had the sun while Class 14 had the surf but both classes have now enjoyed their surf days with Global Boarders at Godrevy. Living where we do, we are fortunate to be situated only minutes from 3 miles of glorious golden sand. In this area of outstand natural beauty, we have some of the best beaches in Cornwall offering fantastic surfing opportunities.

Living next to the Atlantic, however, does come with its own hazards and dangers, especially when it comes to being safe in the sea.

At Penpol School we take beach safety very seriously and as part of the National Curriculum we offer our Year 6 pupils the opportunity to learn how to surf whilst practically teaching beach and water safety. We also believe that our children should be taking full advantage of their geographical location and safely enjoying the unique area in which they live.

It’s safe to say all children. (including the big ones!) had a wonderful time pushing the limits of their own comfort and learning some key skills along the way!
