Weekly reminders for week beginning 28th September 2026

Another good week was had at Clockhouse last week. As always thank you for all you do and your on-going support.

After a busy start to the term, we have a slightly quieter week ahead!

Governor Day

Our Governors will be in school on Wednesday and will be in the playground at the start of the day, please do take the time to speak to them should you wish to.

Year 5

Please remember that Year 5 start swimming on Monday, please ensure that they have all they need.

Special Dinner for all
On Thursday we have the first special dinner day of the year. It would be really good to get as many people as possible having dinner on Thursday as this determines some of our schools funding. We really do appreciate your help in this matter. The menu was sent on Class Dojo.

Is your child, or a child you know due to start Nursery 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. 

Things to be aware of

Hopefully you saw the letters about the trips we have planned for the year, which came home last week. We hope this is useful.

On 9th October we will be celebrating World Mental Health Day. Children are invited to wear something yellow to recognise this. A letter will be coming out about this.
