This weeks attendance winners are...

As always we continue to monitor attendance and punctuality.

Congratulations to the three classes below who are our winners for this week - keep it up! 

This weeks winners are:

1CC - 98.67%
3LB - 99.33%
6NB - 99.00%

A special mention must go to 6NB who win the attendance award for the fifth week in a row - an unbelievable achievement, they are certainly setting a high standard.

Despite attendance being high in these three classes, attendance across the school has been lower than normal this week. We certainly need a big push on this in the new term.

Our whole school attendance level currently stands at

95.9%

This is the first time this term it has dropped below our target of 96%, we need this to change in the new year - we certainly can do it with your support!

Well done everyone and thank you all for your continued support in ensuring that the
children come to school everyday and on time!

A Christmas Message

Thank you all for a great term at Clockhouse!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas
and a
Fabulous New Year!


Thank you so much for all the cards and gifts from all the staff!

Fantastic News

We are very proud to tell you that no less than 164 children from Nursery through to Year 6 achieved 100% attendance this term, a truly magnificent achievement!

Can we beat this in the Spring Term?

Are you unsure of some of the methods that are used to teach maths?

Miss Merchant has been busy developing our virtual maths environment.
