Olivia S (Kenya)

This award is well deserved after Olivia has continued to show care and kindness to all those around her. She is one of the first in the class to console anyone who is feeling upset and brings a smile to their face. Not only this, but she shows incredible nurture to the school and wider commuity. Reccently, she participated in a community litter pick with her family showing her selflessness and dedication to look after others.

I could not be happier to give Tommy this award. After facing some challenges this year, he has show resilience to be focused on his learning and show great respect to others. This is not something only I have noticed, but mutiple other teachers have commented recognising Tommy's efforts in and otuside of the classroom. Keep up all of your hard work Tommy, you should be very proud of yourself! 

Daisy S (South Africa)

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

This member of our class has worked so hard this year and is really beginning to show some great progress, especially in English, but in other areas as well.  She has some great ideas and her vocabulary choices have really impressed me recently.  What has been particularly lovely to see is her confidence and self belief beginning to grow!  Whereas at the start of the year she was reluctant to write without an adult nearby, she is now happily working independently and producing some exciting and well thought out work on her own! I am incredibly proud of her, and so pleased for her too!  

Congratulations Daisy, you are a star!



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

Clockhouse take on the challenge of Cheerleading

Clockhouse had an amazing opportunity to take part in a Cheerleading workshop to learn and develop new skills at Hornchurch Sports Complex. The fun filled afternoon started with learning key vocabulary used in cheerleading such as ‘clean’ and ‘T’. The children were very excited to learn new choreography taught by a cheerleading coach and managed to keep in time and perform with confidence and big smiles on their faces.


After learning the dance, they then proceeded to add cheerleading jumps and tumbles into the routine. The timing was key when taking part using the counts to help them perform at the same time as the group. The last part of the afternoon was focused on stunts which allowed the children to perform lifts as a group with different roles as a team.


Watching the group progress throughout the afternoon was amazing. The children learnt new skills which they can now use at dance club and in the future as well as developing their teamwork. Well done everyone who attended !

The beach comes to the classroom!

Year 1 had a great time when they got their new theme off to a stunning start by making a seaside in their own classroom.

They had to listen very carefully and follow the instructions. They also spent time discussing each aspect of the seaside as they made their creation! 

Look at the pictures below to see how they built up their seaside scene.

Well done Year 1!












Havering Museum welcome Year 5!

Year 5 had a great time when they went to visit The Havering Museum to support their learning about the Victorians.

They were very surprised to find out about all the links to the Victorians in Havering and even looked at some of the architecture from this historical period.

Not only did they learn a lot and had a great time, they were fabulous Clockhouse Citizens throughout the whole trip - well done Year 5.
