Our Young Voices do a great job at the O2

A big well done to the Key Stage 2 Choir, who sang with 1000's of other children at the O2 as part of the Young Voices Choir.

They were fantastic!

Well done everyone, you did yourselves and the school proud!

















Clockhouse show their tagging talents!

Year 5 and 6 pupils at Clockhouse Primary School showcased their exceptional talents at the annual Tag-Rugby competition. This was a huge event as two Clockhouse teams took part allowing 22 children to show off their incredible skills as well as demonstrate a good knowledge of the rules. They also exhibited impressive sportsmanship, and unwavering determination.

The teams, dressed in the school colours, displayed remarkable teamwork and strategic thinking throughout their first tournament as new teams. Passing the ball with precision and agility, they showcased their exceptional understanding of the game. The team actively encouraged their teammates, displaying respect for their opponents and graciously accepting defeat. In true Clockhouse style, our pupils showcased the true spirit of fair play.


Throughout the afternoon the two teams played against seven different schools facing some tough opponents, but this did not stop Clockhouse. On the pitch they were amazing and remained determined to work well as a team, scoring tries and tagging their opponents. For Clockhouse the competition resulted in some wins, some draws and some losses. 


Overall the teams enjoyed representing the school in a sport they love and this was a great opportunity to show case a wide range of skills, including lightning-fast sprints and accurate passing. Their commitment to improvement and their tireless efforts were rewarded throughout the competition, which made everybody very proud.

 

Well done team!
