Polwhele House Cornwall’s preparatory School

Set in idyllic park and woodland on the outskirts of Truro, Polwhele House Preparatory and Pre-Preparatory Schools offer the highest academic standards and a wide variety of extra-curricular activities.

Polwhele House is currently boasting its best-ever inspection report.

The relatively young co-educational establishment, with day and flexi-boarding pupils, boasts numerous scholarships to senior schools, including Winchester College, Sherborne, Blundell’s, Truro School and Truro High School.

Pupils benefit from a happy, purposeful atmosphere in a peaceful country setting, with small classes and good parent-teacher relationships. The Christian, non-denominational school provides uninterrupted education for boys and girls from three to 13-plus. It has educated the Truro Cathedral choristers since 1982.

Summer 2012 • Home From Home

The latest report on Polwhele by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) contains no fewer than 11 “outstanding” verdicts – the highest rating possible. Areas earning this verdict included the educational experience provided in the Early Years Foundation Stage, spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, various lessons, and pastoral care, welfare, health and safety.

“Outstanding” is also the verdict for the quality of links with parents and the community, relations between staff and pupils and amongst pupils, leadership and management and the school’s setting. The report notes: “The outcomes for children are excellent. They enjoy their learning and make outstanding progress in relation to their starting points.”

From the beautifully refurbished 15th Century house at the heart of the 32-acre site, the school strives to combine modern teaching methods with the best of traditional values.

The sense of well-being is aided not least by home-grown vegetables that contribute to the daily school meals, with green-fingered pupils enjoying their own gardening club within a Victorian walled garden.

The club is one of over 20 extra-curricular activities available to Polwhele’s pupils.

Headmaster Mr Alex McCullough comments:

“We believe children need time and space to grow. They need to be nurtured yet challenged; they must be given freedom whilst understanding and accepting the boundaries.

They must develop self-respect, due regard and responsibility for others, and a sense of community.”

What to expect from a

Holiday Cottage Agency With beautiful unspoilt beaches, breath-taking views and miles of coastal path to explore, the demand for luxury self-catering holiday accommodation in South Devon is stronger than ever. With over 425 holiday properties exclusively in Salcombe, Dartmouth and the surrounding countryside, the South Hams based holiday letting agency, Coast & Country Cottages is currently looking for special holiday properties to join their impressive portfolio and to meet current demand from their customers for 2012.

For a holiday home owner thinking of letting for the first time, finding a professional, efficient and experienced agency to market and manage the property is vital. When selecting an agency think about your own expectations and choose accordingly. For example, if the holiday cottage is first and foremost your own weekend bolthole, ensure you choose an agent who offers flexibility on owner bookings. Seek the opinions of several different letting companies and look at their local profile, their services, their marketing and brand reputation.

If the property is primarily a business venture or needs to generate a specific level of income, beware of companies who make false promises and predictions of unrealistic levels of bookings. Most importantly, go with the agent you feel most comfortable with.

A good relationship between owner and agent really contributes to success - Coast & Country Cottages’ excellent reputation and numerous long standing owners are proof of the importance of this rapport.

Once you have chosen your agency, it is time to start preparing the cottage for bookings. As with any home, investment in the property is needed regularly in order to maintain standards and encourage repeat bookings.

Customers are increasingly discerning so an eye for detail is exceptionally important. A good agency should help you at every stage of preparing and letting your holiday property. Coast & Country Cottages has a dedicated Property Services team who can help you with all maintenance requirements, whether you are simply in need of a handyman or are planning to update a bathroom or more extensive renovations. They also have their own laundry, an experienced locally based Sales team and a Marketing team, who will amongst other things, arrange an independent VisitBritain assessment to provide added reassurance to customers and enhanced marketing opportunities for your property.

A good agency will be able to provide guidance and suggestions to increase bookings. If the property is suitable, including baby friendly equipment will add appeal, whilst many owners find that accepting one or two dogs extends their holiday season. Ask the agency for suggestions of welcoming touches –a bottle of wine, fresh flowers or a cream tea make guests feel very welcome and can often lead to repeat bookings… first impressions matter! Finally, when preparing your property for letting, it is important to put yourself in the shoes of customers. Staying in the property if you have not already done so will help you identify the minor changes needed to improve a customers’ experience.

If you would like to find out more about letting your holiday home, Coast & Country Cottages would be delighted to arrange a free property visit without any obligation or ‘hard sell’.

The King Power

Red Devil The third edition arising from the committed partnership between Hublot and Manchester United, Steven Hall took a trip to Manchester and the hallowed turf of Old Trafford to see the new Hublot, King Power being unveiled.

Summer 2012 • Home From Home

19

Featuring new technical details, and equipped with a new chronograph movement with two centre chrono hands providing better readability, the King Power Red Devil is a fine symbol of fusion and innovation, paying tribute to this most legendary of football clubs.

At 6 pm on 7 May 2011, the day before the match against Chelsea, the hallowed turf of Old Trafford - the scene of so many victories, so much excitement and effort - has been chosen by the Manchester United players, Sir Alex Ferguson and Jean-Claude Biver, CEO of Hublot, to host the presentation of the new King Power Red Devil to the international press.

In tribute to one of the world’s most famous football clubs, for which it has been Official Timekeeper since 2008, Hublot has developed a King Power equipped for the first time with a chronograph movement distinguished by two centre chrono hands. This makes for better readability - quicker and more efficient.

The wearer can keep track of both hands at a glance; the first indicates the seconds, and the other hand, specially developed for football, indicates the time elapsed out of the 45 mins in each half.

With a sapphire dial, the movement – here in an Aero Bang version - has also undergone new skeleton working, leaving it more open to reveal even more of the working parts of the watch and its fine mechanics. The topside retains only the material necessary for it to function. This is coated with black ruthenium for a beautiful overall effect of homogeneity, and clearer reading. Predominantly red, the minute track, a time counter at 9 o’clock and a date window at

4 o’clock round off the piece, stamped with the famous, slightly rebellious Red Devils emblem at 3 o’clock. In a nod to Old Trafford’s more than one hundred year-old turf, the focus of all attention, the watch indexes come in a natural grass-green colour, obtained using real blades of grass from Old Trafford, picked and preserved especially by the club’s groundsmen for the making of this limited series.

It took Hublot 6 months of development to stabilise the plant material and its original colour, including against UV and temperature differences. The freeze-dried blades of grass were inserted into the indexes through an all-new process, then coated with a special transparent lacquer to secure them permanently.

The King Power case – 48 mm in diameter, and here in micro-blasted black ceramic or in 18K King Gold - has been revamped. Its two push-buttons have been redesigned, and are now each protected by a little safety bar, which is completely built in either side of the crown.

Moreover, in a final reference to the legendary club and bringing a last aesthetic touch to the piece, the black rubber strap has a red line in the centre, directly inspired by Manchester United’s graphic charter.

This limited edition is produced in 500 numbered pieces for the micro-blasted black ceramic version and in 250 pieces for the King Gold 18K version. Every watch is accompanied by a certificate guaranteeing its authenticity, signed personally by Sir Alex Ferguson.

The new version is the first Professional watch in the Oyster collection to be available in EVEROSE ROLESOR – an exclusive combination of the 904L steel superalloy and 18 ct EVEROSE gold.

Sights on the horizon Equipped with a programmable countdown with a mechanical memory, the Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master II is an innovative and pioneering watchmaking complication, based on interaction between the movement and the bezel.

It allows the skipper to programme a regatta countdown sequence from 1 to 10 minutes. Once the countdown has been launched, the skipper can, if necessary, synchronize his chronograph to the official race countdown. Thanks to the Yacht-Master II, experienced sailors and yachting enthusiasts have at their disposal an efficient tool to assist in crossing the starting line at the very moment the horn sounds.

Regatta meets watchmaking technology With its numerous innovative watchmaking features, the Yacht-Master II model, launched in 2007, is the epitome of the brand’s creative force and technology. Its functions depend on a major innovation: the exclusive RING COMMAND bezel, designed and developed by Rolex. Rotatable through 90° and interacting with the movement, it serves to initialize and then lock the countdown programming.

The model’s 4160 movement, entirely designed and developed by Rolex, is fitted with a PARACHROM hairspring, 10 times more resistant to shocks and insensitive to magnetic fields. The countdown is operated by a column wheel and a vertical clutch. A number of microcomponents in this unique movement are produced

by UV-LiGA – a new technology, entirely mastered in-house

by Rolex, which enables the production of components whose fineness or geometry makes them impossible to manufacture by traditional means.

The Yacht-Master II’s case, stamped from a block of 904L steel extremely resistant to corrosion, offers all the qualities of waterproofness that have made the reputation of Oyster watches. Not least thanks to its TRIPLOCK winding crown, which screws down tightly against the case like the hatch of a submarine. The pink gold of the bezel and the bracelet’s centre links are 18 ct EVEROSE gold, an exclusive alloy developed by Rolex and manufactured in its own foundry. The blue CERACHROM bezel insert, virtually impervious to scratches, corrosion-resistant and nonfading, is also patented and manufactured by Rolex.

The excellent legibility of the Yacht-Master II’s dial demonstrates the constant attention to functionality in the Oyster Professional collection. The red countdown minute and seconds hands are readable at a glance against the graduations on the dial or bezel.

The bracelet, in 904L steel and 18 ct EVEROSE, is fitted with an EASYLINK 5 mm comfort extension link and an OYSTERLOCK clasp with a safety catch, two further Rolex innovations.

The horn has sounded. The course is set.

The Yacht-Master II forges ever forward, sailing towards new horizons.
