Hot Chocolate with the Head


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

This year we are 'Relentless and Rigorous' in everything we do 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 Abeledo 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 be 'Relentless and Rigorous':

Nursery - Violet M for being relentless and rigorous and becoming more independent.
Reception - Ilham A (Northern Ireland) for being relentless and rigorous and always trying her very best.
Year 1 - Arthur R (France) for being relentless and rigorous the amazing effort and focus he has been showing in Maths. I am so proud of how hard he is working and how he is pushing himself to try the harder challenges as well. 
Year 2 - Anum W (Mexico) for having a relentless and rigorous approach to her learning and never giving up. 
Year 3 - Olan O (Argentina) for being relentless and rigorous and building independence in maths when completing his challenges.
Year 4 - Jake M (Uganda) for being relentless, rigorous and resilient in his writing and really taking on board the comments about his work and how he can make it even better.
Year 5 - Ronnie S (China) for being relentless and rigorous and stepping out of his comfort zone and confidently reading a section of the class text aloud to the class. 
Year 6 - Ihsan F (Australia) for his relentless and rigorous approach to his learning and his upcoming tests.
Greenland - James B-J has being relentless and rigorous and showing great engagement and intention in his communication sessions.
Miss Ward - Michael S (Japan) for being relentless and rigorous and pushing himself out of his comfort zone.
Mrs Abeledo - Yusuf A (Japan) for being relentless and rigorous and working so hard to produce a fabulous piece of writing with wonderful vocabulary. 
Mrs Savidge - Millie-Rose F (China) for being relentless and rigorous in her approach to school life and always being so helpful and polite.

Well done to all these children and all the other children who have been seen to be 'Relentless and Rigorous' this week! 



Great Golfing from Year 4

The children had a fantastic experience at the Tri Golf event, enjoying the warm, sunny weather while putting into practice the skills and knowledge they have been developing during their Golf PE lessons. It was great to see their confidence grow as they transferred their learning onto the course.


Throughout the event, the children rotated around eight different stations, each  designed to challenge and develop a range of golfing skills. These included controlled putting, target shots and powerful drives. Each station provided a different level of challenge, encouraging the children to focus on technique, precision and consistency.


The Clockhouse golfers represented the school exceptionally well. Not only did they demonstrate some brilliant shots, but they also showed fantastic sportsmanship at all times. They supported and encouraged one another, celebrated each other’s successes and showed resilience when faced with more challenging tasks. Their positive attitudes and teamwork were evident throughout the event.


A huge well done to all of the Clockhouse team - you did your school proud!


Team - Dylan (Uganda), Ellis (Uganda), Ruby (Uganda), Louie (Uganda), Colby (South Africa), Lenni (South Africa), Rosie (South Africa), Millie (Kenya), Eesa (Kenya) and Alyena (Kenya)
