Weekly reminders for week beginning 18th May 2026

A huge well done to Year 6 for working extra hard last week with their tests. We are all extremely proud of you. 

As the end of the term approaches, we have another busy week at Clockhouse - just how we like it! 

Year 5
We look forward to welcoming our Year 5 parents / carers on Thursday for Learn with my Child at 9.10am - 10.30am. 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.

Japan and China
Japan are off to The Ragged School on Monday and China on Friday. Please ensure consent forms and money are returned by Monday.

Year 4
Year 4 are off to Havering Country Park on Thursday. Please return permissions slips by Monday if you have not done so already.

Year 2
Year 2 are off to the Library on Wednesday or Friday. Please ensure permissions slips are returned by Tuesday if you have not done so already.

Special Dinner for all
On Thursday we have another special dinner day. 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. A copy of the menu has been shared.

Is your child joining Reception in September?
Do not forget there is a meeting for those parents of children joining us in Reception in September on Thursday at either 2pm or 7pm. You only need attend one meeting. Please complete the slip on the letter to let us know when you will be attending. We look forward to welcoming you. 

Things to be aware of
On the Monday, when we return after Half Term, we will have Orange Day. For a small contribution the children are invited into schoo wearing something orange, to show our support for St. Francis Hospice. A letter will come out this week.

Do not forget that the OCA Summer Fete is on 13th June (11am - 3pm).

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!
