Clockhouse Victory

Well done to the Clockhouse girls football team who beat Pyrgo 9-0 this evening.

All the girls tried their best and there was some amazing football played. Katie Johnson and Olivia Ludlow both scored hat-tricks with Katie Peart scoring 2 goals and Billie Grant 1.

Well done everyone, we are proud of you all.




We are nearly there!

We now have a classroom, it is the turn of the surrounding floor today! It really is so exciting for us all!



Visit to West Horndon Primary School

On Friday, we took 3 Year 4 children to visit West Horndon Primary School. This is a very different school to Clockhouse with only 15 children in each year group compared to our 90.

This school have worked a lot on developing their outdoor area so we thought it was a really good opportunity to go and get lots of ideas. They enjoyed showing us around including a tour of their renovated bus! They have a special Tree Nursery at the school and allowed us to choose 3 trees to dig up and plant back at Clockhouse.

We hope that this is a start of a great link with another local school.
