Clockhouse Matters


Hot Chocolate with the Head


As you all know we are constantly striving to improve Clockhouse for your children. 

This year we are all trying our best to go 'Beyond the Possible' in everything to ensure that our school is a fabulous place to be and the children get the best all round experience possible. Each week, the Heads of Year as well as Miss Ward, Mrs Reinecke and Mrs Savidge choose a person (child or adult) who has been seen to do this and then they get to have Hot Chocolate with Mrs Savidge!

This week the following Clockhouse Citizens have been seen to going 'Beyond the Possible':

Nursery - Penelope D for going beyond her possible to be more independent and widening her circle of friends.
Reception - Annabel I (Northern Ireland) for going beyond the possible to keep our classroom tidy.
Year 1 - Gibson M-C (France) for going beyond the possible by always showing pride in his learning and being a good friend. 
Year 2 - Ellis B (USA) for striving to achieve his best and improve his learning. He is going beyond his possible.
Year 3 - Nadine M (Brazil) for going beyond the possible by trying really hard with working independently.
Year 4 - Freddy N (Kenya) for fantastic sportsmanship, being a great team member and going beyond the possible to be kind and including everyone.
Year 5 - Oliver B (Japan) for going beyond the possible with his excellent work in English and supporting other children to improve their work. He will openly give advice and tips to others without prompting and it's lovely to see. 
Year 6 - Lola S-E (Fiji) for going beyond the possible with her exemplary behaviour whilst on the trip to the Docklands Museum.  
Greenland -  Logan O for going beyond the possible when working on his letter and number formation.
Miss Ward - Franky C (Nursery) for brilliant progress with his speaking and listening. The adults are very proud of him for going beyond the possible.
Mrs Reinecke - Noah J (Japan) for showing tremendous integrity despite being alone in standing up for what is right. Well done for going beyond the possible, Noah!
Mrs Savidge - Tom H (France) for going beyond the possible to be a great Clockhouse Citizen and improving his learning.

Well done to all these children and all the other children who have been seen to going 'Beyond the Possible' this week!

Clockhouse Weekly Wow

Here is last week's Weekly Wow and as usual there were a lot of things to 'wow' about last week.



Time to CELEBRATE - Value Champion Alert!

We are very excited and pleased to share with you that we have more Clockhouse Value Champions of 2023-2024!

A huge congratulations to

Jacob M, Ruby B and Connie S-W (New Zealand)

who has earned the Respect Champion Award for 2023-2024!

These three children are always pupils that I can rely on to be respectful at all times of the day; however, this wonderful trait became even more evident on our trip to the Docklands Museum in London. Throughout the day, all three children were observed - time and again - to be interacting with their peers and members of the public in a polite and respectful way.  They routinely spoke courteously to people, moved out of their way whilst on public transport and even gave up their seats to members of the public. They are wonderful example of fabulous Clockhouse Citizens and as all three did this throughout the day I could not pick between them which is why I have nominated them all. 

Geroge V (New Zealand)

who has earned the Learning Champion Award for 2023-2024!

 George has impressed me so much this year with his positive attitude towards his lessons! He listens carefully, asks relevant questions and has grown increasingly more confident in sharing his thoughts and opinions during class discussions. He strives day by day to improve his knowledge and understanding and it wonderful to see how much effort he puts in. 

Daria L (Australia)

who has earned the Community Champion Award for 2023-2024!

Daria is a real gem in our classroom community! She's always there, lending a helping hand without a second thought. Whether it's organising her table, supporting other children who might find things a challenge, or just being a friend when someone needs it most, Daria is the definition of community spirit. What is truly amazing is that she always acts in this way and has been spotted by several staff member displaying this value when she thinks an adult can't see her. Her kindness and empathy make everyone feel valued and heard. Her positive energy is contagious, and she truly deserves a big shout-out for all she does to make our classroom community shine!


Ben A (Australia)

who has earned the Respect Champion Award for 2023-2024!

Ben truly deserves a respect award for his impressive efforts in showing respect to all the adults around him. In the past few weeks, he's gone out of his way to be polite and considerate, earning praise from many staff members across the school. This has not always been the case in the past so it is great to see a change in Ben's attitude and I am hopeful that earning this badge will encourage him to keep up this behaviour.

Lewis M (Japan)

who has earned the Excellence Champion Award for 2023-2024!

Lewis has a clear thirst for learning and it has been great to see him thrive in all areas of the curriculum. He strives for excellence in all areas of his learning and is keen to further better himself. His narrative folk tale was exceptional and I was blown away with his writing skills. Well done Lewis, I am very proud of you. Keep up the hard work!


A huge well done from everyone at Clockhouse - wear your Values Champion Badge with pride!
