Clockhouse run through the streets of London!

On Sunday a small number of our Year 5 children were lucky enough to take part in the London 'Mile a Day' race. The children started their run in Green Park and finished in front of Buckingham Palace.

As a school we were choosen to take part due to the fact we participate in the Mile a Day at school where children walk / jog / run a mile each day. This is proven to improve the physical, social, emotional and mental health and wellbeing of children – regardless of age, ability or personal circumstances.

Well done to all who took part - what an honour, you were all amazing. A big well done to Jake L who finished the first of the Clockhouse children. A further big well done and thank you to Mrs Curry and Mrs Redgrave who took time out of their weekend to run with the children!

May Newsletter

Please be aware of the May Newsletter which came home last week.

Thank you!

A huge thank you from everyone at Clockhouse to Garden Living in Lower Bedfords Road who very kindly donated these fantastic plants to make our school look brighter.

Thank you also to Year 1 for taking the time to weed and then plant our new plants!
