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

This year we are all trying our best to 'Be Exceptional' 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!

Year 5 visit to the IOD

Last week some of our Year 5 children were lucky enough to visit the IOD (Institute of Directors).

The children were chosen after taking part in a competition when they were in Year 4 about the importance of Bees and the impact they have on our world.

During their time at the IOD they got to find out more and as well as experiencing this amazing place!

















Wow Day 2022

The children from Year 1 to Year 6 were 'wow'ed' by our visitor last week.

The African Drumming specialists allowed the children to take part in a workshop and then perform.

The children all thoroughly enjoyed the experience, there are definitely a few budding drummers in the making!
