Weekly reminder for week beginning 21st September 2026

Thank you to everyone who helped us remember our much loved member of staff on Friday, I know it meant a lot to us and the family. 

The children have all settled into the year and we are certainly seeing some fabulous learning taking place across the school. As I walk around the school, it is wonderful to see them so settled, working so hard and showing themselves to 'Be Resilient, Be Consistent, Be Brilliant'. As always, thank you for your on-going support - it really is a team effort in every sense of the word.

Thank you to all those who attended Meet the Teacher last week. It was lovely to welcome you. Thank you also to all those parents who are supporting their children and practising the children's reading and spellings with them at home as well as number bond and times tables. Please remember every time the children read at home and you sign their Reading Record book or send a message on Class Dojo, they get a raffle ticket and are entered into our weekly prize draw - you have to be in it to win it!

Year 6

Please do not forget that you are invited to attend a meeting on Monday at 5pm regarding the Year 6 SATs and residential trip. Please come to the Key Stage 2 building. We look forward to seeing you. 

Year 3 

Year 3 will be working with HEST on Tuesday and completing their Best Buddies Workshop.

Reception

Reception 'Meet the Teacher' is after school on Wednesday and the teachers are looking forward to welcoming you. Teachers will be in classrooms straight after school and available until 4pm. Please do come and say hello and see your child's classroom. 

On Thursday afternoon (from 2.15pm) Reception parents / carers are invited to a Coffee Afternoon where you will have the opportunity to meet with other parents / carers. Please do come if you can.

Things to be aware of

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

Weekly reminders for week beginning 14th September 2026

It was certainly lovely to welcome the children from Year 1 to Year 6 back to school this week, as well as welcoming our Reception and Nursery children. The children certainly lived up to expectation and have taken returning to school in their stride. Their adaptability and resilience never ceases to amaze me. They settled so quickly into their classes with lots of learning taking place. 

We have a VERY exciting week ahead!

Meet the Teacher

Thank you to all those who came to Meet the Teacher last week. We enjoyed meeting you and hope you found it useful. Meet the Teacher continues this week. Teachers will be in classrooms straight after school and available until 4pm. Please do come and say hello and see your child's classroom. This week is as follows:

Tuesday 15th September - Year 5

Thursday 17th September - Greenland (2.45pm)

Thursday 17th September - Year 4

Swimming

Wow Day
We are very much looking forward to a special event at school on Monday involving the children from Year 2 to 6! Ask them what they got up to when they get home!

Exciting Times for Clockhouse

We have a number of Headteachers and Senior Leaders from all over the country visiting the school on Tuesday to learn about what we do. We cannot wait to showcase our wonderful school!

Year 2 and Year 4

Children in Year 2 and 4 have and exciting VR expeirence coming to school on Wednesday to launch their new topic learning. Please send the money in or pop into the office if you need to pay for this - thank you in advance.

Jean's Day

Friday will once again be the day where we honour and remember Mrs O'Connor with Jean’s Day. Mrs O'Connor was our former Librarian and Midday Supervision, who suddenly passed away in August 2022. Her favourite colour was purple / lilac so we are asking our Clockhouse family to wear something of this colour in her honour along with non-uniform (PE will continue on this day). 

Is your child, or a child you know due to start Reception in September 2027

We are looking forward to welcoming prospective parents / carers into school on Thursday 10.00am and 4.00pm. Please call the school to book this or a tour later in the term.

Please remember

As you know jewellery is not permitted in school. Please ensure children do not come to school wearing this. This includes earrings which should not be worn for school for health and safety reasons.

Things to be aware of

Following the success of last year, we will be continuing with Achievement Assembly on a Monday to get the week off to a fabulous start. This will be starting on Monday 21st September.

The Reading Raffle is back again - when reading with your child at home, please send the teacher a message on Class Dojo or fill in their Reading Diary so that the teacher knows they have read and the children can be awarded with a raffle ticket and entered into the weekly draw. Look out for more exciting news about reading at Clockhouse coming your way soon.

Hot Chocolate with the Head continues, children will celebrate with me should they win this award. You will get a call if your child has won to ensure they have permission for this.

Please also remember that if children bring things to school, this is done so at your own risk (unless we have directly asked you to do so).

We are having a big push on tucking shirts in and taking pride in our appearance. The children are getting very good at this and thank them and you for your support in this. This also includes ensuring the children come to school in the correct PE uniform on PE Days, please help us with this.
