And just like that we are in the last week of the term! Where has the year gone.

It was lovely to welcome you all into school last week for the different events I hope Early Years and Key Stage 1 enjoyed Sports Day. Thank you to the parents and families who joined us on the last week for the Celebration Assemblies of Brazil and Northern Ireland, we are sure you will agree they were a lovely occasion.

We hope you enjoyed reading your child's school report and were proud to read about their year. Please do send the feedback sheets back if you have not done so already. Also may I take this opportunity to thank all those who completed the online questionnaire. Your feedback is certainly very valuable to us!

So here we go with the final week...

Meet the Teacher
The children will be meeting their new teacher on Monday morning and spending time in their new classrooms. We are sure they are all very excited about this - the staff certainly are! 

Open Evening

Please also take the time to look around the school and visit your child's new classroom, their current teacher will be able to point you in the right direction. All new teachers will be in school to meet you.

Sports Days
On Tuesday morning (9.15am) we look forward to welcoming families to the Key Stage 2 Sports Day. 
Here is hoping the weather is kind to us! It does look like it is going to be hot, please ensure children have hats, water bottles and sun cream applied.

Clockhouse Weekly Wow

Here is last week's Weekly Wow and as usual there were a lot of things to 'wow' about last week.




Time to CELEBRATE - Value Champion Alert!

We are very excited and pleased to share with you our next Clockhouse Value Champion of 2025-2026!

A huge congratulations to


Filip S (Uganda)

who has earned the Learning Champion Award for 2025-2026! 


He has worked so hard this year and has made good progress in his writing. He always wants to show his best work and talks about his learning at home. Mum says that he will often talk about what he is going to write during our end of unit writing lessons. He should be very proud of all that he has achieved this year. I certainly am. Well done Filip!


Ellis B (Uganda)

who has earned the Nurture Champion Award for 2025-2026! 


Ellis has always been a kind and caring member of the class. Recently, I have seen him help children to tidy away their resources and to help them if an adult is not available as they are working with another child. He will often remind some of the children about what they are supposed to be doing. It has been a pleasure to have seen this value develop over the last few weeks. Well done Ellis.


Rylee V (Peru)
who has earned the Excellence Champion Award for 2025-2026! 

 Rylee has shown continuous achievements throughout the year. I feel he deserves this badge as he has overcome a series of challenges out of hid comfort zone. Also, his independent communication, reading and writing has come on a long way since the beginning of the year. He is also thriving in maths. He shows excellence and determination in all his that he does. I could not be any prouder of Rylee.  Keep it up! 

Leo R (USA)

who has earned the Learning Champion Award for 2025-2026! 


He always strives to do his best in all areas of his learning. He is not afraid of a challenge and is making great progress thanks to his determination and resilience.

Aleena C (USA)

who has earned the Learning Champion Award for 2025-2026! 


She is articulate and possesses a broad range of worldly knowledge. She approaches all of her learning with a mature attitude and always strives to do her very best.

Ben H (USA)

who has earned the Learning Champion Award for 2025-2026! 


He started the year feeling unsure of his abilities, but he has grown in confidence throughout the year and always strives to do his best in all areas of his learning. He now has the confidence to ask and answer questions, and it has been wonderful to see him develop and grow as a learner.

George A (France)

who has earned the Learning Champion Award for 2025-2026! 


George has earned the Learning value badge for the excellent effort and determination he shows in English lessons. He has been working hard to improve his sentence structure and is becoming much more confident in organising his ideas clearly. He has also written some fantastic past tense sentences in his recount writing, helping to make his work engaging and successful. Keep up the great work, George!


Matei G (France)

who has earned the Learning Champion Award for 2025-2026! 


Matei has earned the Learning value badge for the fantastic effort and enthusiasm he shows in his learning. He has worked hard in English, writing some wonderful descriptions of his Bog Baby and a detailed recount using his ideas carefully. He has also shown great skill and patience when creating his seascape collage in Art, taking pride in his work and producing a fantastic final piece. Well done, Matei — keep up the great work!


Anastasia X (France)

who has earned the Learning Champion Award for 2025-2026! 


Anastasia has earned the Value Badge for Learning because of the great effort and focus she has shown in her learning, particularly when tackling new challenges. She approaches her work with determination and is developing confidence in her abilities. I have been especially impressed by her participation during History lessons, where she contributes thoughtful ideas and engages well in our class discussions. Well done, Anastasia—keep up the good work!


Kenza K (France)

who has earned the Community Champion Award for 2025-2026! 


Kenza has earned this Values Badge for Community because she consistently demonstrated kindness, patience and respect during our recent trip to Southend. She showed great consideration for others, especially younger children, by moving away from the aquarium windows to give them a chance to see. She was always polite and helpful to her group leader, making positive choices throughout the day. She is a wonderful example of what it means to be a Clockhouse Citizen.



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