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 2026-2027!

A huge congratulations to

Olivia M (Australia)

who has earned the Learning Champion Award for 2026-2027! 

Olivia was so welcoming to the Governors and shared her learning in such an articulate way during their visit.

Ali M (Uganda)

who has earned the Learning Champion Award for 2026-2027! 

This badge is awarded because he is always ready to learn. He tries his hardest and challenges himself in every lesson. He has made a fantastic start to Year 4, and I am excited to see all that he will achieve through his fabulous attitude and behaviour for learning. Keep it up!

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

What a lovely week last week was - well done to you all and thank you for all the support you continue to show us. We are lucky to work with such a wonderful community.

The termly questionnaire for parents / carers came out via Class Dojo before the holiday and can be accessed using the link below 

Autumn Term Questionnaire for Parents / Carers

As always we thank you for your feedback. We do appreciate that this takes time but your feedback is invaluable to us as we continually strive to improve the educational experience we provide for the children and families we serve. 

Reception - Year 6

Please remember that the nurses are in on Monday for the first round of flu immunisations.

Year 6
We look forward to welcoming our Year 6 (Monday - 9.10-10.30) parents for Learn with my Child. Please come for as little or as much as you can. As with the other year groups, regrettably we are unable to accommodate younger siblings at these events.

Year 6 also have their Viking Day on Tuesday. 

Year 5

We look forward to welcoming our Year 5 (Tuesday - 9.10-10.30) parents for Learn with my Child. Please come for as little or as much as you can. As with the other year groups, regrettably we are unable to accommodate younger siblings at these events.

Year 1 and Year 2

The children in Year 1 will be welcoming the Birds of Prey on Monday as part of their topic all about Woodland Life. Year 2 will also be having the same experience as part of their development of their Cultural Capital.

Parents' Evening 

Do not forget that on Wednesday and Thursday of this week it is Parents' Evening after school. If you do not yet have an appointment please book this on line. If you have any issues, please contact Mrs Collins in the office. As you know, we are offering a blended approach, so if you have not done so already, please do tell the teachers if you want a Zoom meeting otherwise we will assume you will be attending in person.

Please do allow your children to be part of the meeting so that they also know how they are doing and what they need to work on. The importance of the co-education of your child cannot be overstated

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 at 10.00am. Please call the school to book this or a tour later in the term.

Natasha Brind's Bright Day

On Thursday, we invite our whole community to come to school in bright colours. It would be lovely to see parents / carers getting involved as well. This is in memory of Natasha, our much loved member of staff who sadly and very unexpectedly passed away four years ago. If you would like to donate to Cancer Research, a charity dear to Natasha and her family, please do so but there is no obligation.

OCA (Our Clockhouse Association) Tuck Shop

OCA will be hosting a Tuck Shop during both Parents' Evening. Look out for the stalls if you are feeling a bit peckish. Please do support them.

Things to be aware of

Please do not forget that Friday 23rd October is a staff training day and therefore the school will be closed to children therefore school finishes for half term on Thursday 22nd October.
