London Youth Games call for successful Clockhouse Cricketers

Over the past few weeks Clockhouse have entered both their boys and girls sides into the Havering Cricket Tournaments. First up was the boys, with minimal experience in the side the boys managed to reach the quarter finals loosing to a very experienced Oakfield's side made up of hard ball cricketers. On route to the quarter-finals Clockhouse played some great cricket beating St Edwards with a score of 212 for 6 compared to St Edwards posting 206 for 7, Harold Court managed a total of 237 for 5 but were also beaten by the Clockhouse boys who pitched an impressive 265 for 1. Clockhouse the faced Newtons and batted well to win with a score of 288 for 1 compared to 238 for 1 an impressive margin of victory. Clockhouse's final opponent was Elm Park who scored 241 for 4 but were again beaten by a strong Clockhouse batting performance with a score of 275 for 2.

A great achievement considering the boys had minimal practice in preparation for the event.

The girls were next up to represent the school and just like the boys they managed to win their group stages a close up encounter with Nelmes, Clockhouse girls winning by 9 runs after some final ball dramatics. Clockhouse then outscored Langtons by 26 runs to win. Clockhouse then scored 291 without a lost wicket to beat Branfil. Clockhouse again batted well in their final group game posting a score of 288  again without loss to beat St Marys who scored just 223 for 5. In the semi-final Clockhouse met Engayne who are a well established cricket school. A great game finished with Clockhouse winning by 18 runs, both teams only loosing one wicket. In the final Clockhouse met a well drilled James Oglethorpe side who were devastating with the bat and despite some great fielding efforts Clockhouse finished runners up. Despite being a runner up Clockhouse go on to represent Havering at the London Youth Games.

Upon reflection Mr Yarrow said 'I want to praise both the boys and girls that represented the school. Both sides had minimal practise in preparation and to reach the quart final and final was great achievements. The boys were unlucky to come up against a school that regularly plays hard ball cricket and the girls were great to reach the final was a pleasant surprise but it just goes to show what you can do if you believe in yourself!'

The school will represent the whole of Havering at the London Youth Games event in Richmond tomorrow. WELL DONE TEAM CLOCKHOUSE!

Boys Squad: Harrison A (c), Ashley O, Kaylan B, Charlie B, Bobby I, Zach S, Uzzair R, Harvey  and Alfie P

Girls Squad: Amar K (c),  Katie G, Darci L, Rachel C, Layla S, Emily G, Grace D, Sophie L and Beth C

Today

Good morning everyone

Just in case you are not aware, Clockhouse Lane is now fully reopened which should make getting to school easier.

Thank you to everyone for managing yesterday and to the support shown to the school at this difficult time.

Kind regards
Mrs Savidge

This evening

Good afternoon everyone,

I have just spoken to the police and the cordon is still in place. They have said we should plan that this will still be the case at the end of the school day.

We appreciate that it may be more tricky than normal to pick children up so please do not panic if you are a little late.

Kind regards 
Mrs Savidge

Today

Good morning everyone,

I am in school and Clockhouse Lane between the roundabout in the centre of Collier Road to Lynwood Avenue remains closed. I have spoken to the police and they still remain unclear as to how long the cordon will be in place for but it is likely to be at least for the rest of today. 

I appreciate that it may be more difficult than normal to get to school this morning to drop children off or this afternoon to pick up so please do not panic if you are a little late. All gates at the front and the back of the school are accessible. As I said yesterday, staff will be available for the children and  parents to talk to if needed as will I be.

Thank you in advance for your support and understanding at this difficult time and in the meantime again our thoughts must go to the families of those directly involved.

Kind regards

Mrs Savidge

Tomorrow

Good evening everyone,

I am sure many of you already know about the terrible events of last night in Collier Row.

I have been to school this afternoon and have spoken to the police who have said that they are unsure how long the road will remain closed from the roundabout in the centre of Collier Row to Lynwood Avenue. I have been advised that there is no reason why school cannot open tomorrow so we will be open as normal and both back and front entrances will be open in terms of access. 

I totally understand how distressing this is for everyone, expecially those living so close to the scene and appreciate that it may be more difficult than normal to get to school in the morning. Staff will be available for the children and  parents to talk to if needed as I will be.

Thank you in advance for your support and understanding at this difficult time and in the meantime our thoughts must go to the families of those directly involved.

Kind regards
Mrs Savidge
