Time for one last leavers’ assembly at Testboune, this time for Livi. The well rehearsed timetable flowed smoothly, and as it was Livi there was music involved (as well as a name-check over certain recent end of term pranks…). Always touching to see what the pupils have become over their time at school and interesting to compare photos now with photos when they joined five years ago. Having officially left school, most have returned immediately to continue their exams. To stop the tears flowing too much, Livi and I went to London after the event to see a recording of ‘Claire in the community’ (missing by minutes a performance outside the studio by Paul Weller for the One Show – much to Livi’s chagrin).
