Visiting Coolham

As I walk across the school hall, I am greeted with the sound of soft music playing in the background. On the floor, just over one hundred children, aged between five and eleven, sit cross-legged in neat rows, smart as paint in their scarlet and grey uniform. They are the children of the William Penn School, in Coolham, West Sussex.
