Year 5 and 6 get sporting calendar off to a great start

Clockhouse kicked off the school year with a Year 5 and 6 Football Festival. The Team arrived ready to give it their all and play to their best ability, demonstrating their excellent skill set across the whole team. It was a big challenge for the boys as this was the first competitive match they had played together with the new year groups merging for the first time The boys impressed with their brilliant passes and precision throughout the games, displaying amazing team work and sportsmanship allowing the team to bond and come together across the pitch.

Throughout the festival the team scored several impressive goals against some tough competition and showed great resilience when hanging back and defending to help the goal keeper make some brilliant saves. This was a fantastic start to the competition season allowing Clockhouse to shine and show their progression and great potential for up and coming fixtures.

Team - Tobi (Fiji), Cooper (Fiji), Alfie (Fiji), Danilo (Australia), Hashim (Australia), Elliot (China), Harry (China), George (China), Frankie (India), Jayden (Japan) and Harrison (China)

Weekly reminders for week beginning 30th September 2024

Another good week was had at Clockhouse last week with another busy week coming up. As always thank you for all you do and your on-going support.

It was also lovely to welcome the Governors last week, the children were delightful and our visitors were certainly impressed with what they saw and heard.

Is your child, or a child you know due to start Nursery in September 2025

We are looking forward to welcoming prospective parents / carers into school on Tuesday 10.00am. Please call the school to book this or a tour later in the term. 

Harvest Festival
On Tuesday we will be having our annual Harvest Festival with the children. As per the letter that came out earlier in the term, we will be collecting for the Food Bank who are in great need at the moment. Please send donations in with the children and we will pass these on.
