This year we are all trying our best to go 'Channel your Clockhouse Compass' in everything 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 Reinecke 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 'Channelling their Clockhouse Compass:

Year 5 just Love to Read

Year 5 really do just love to read!

They had a great time at their used book sale and took full advantage of purchasing some new books to read and then we could not stop them from reading them as you can see.

Happy reading Year 5, we cannot wait to hear about what you have read!

Year 2 do themselves and us proud at tournament

The children had a fantastic time at the memorial tournament for Alex Field held at Crownfields Infant School.

During the tournament, they showed incredible enthusiasm, excitement and determination despite the extremely hot weather. 

They displayed excellent sportsmanship towards other teams and supported each other with encouragement throughout the day. Their hard work and team spirit paid off as they secured a well-deserved third place overall. 

Special congratulations goes to Antalya (Mexico), who was awarded Player of the Match for her constant positivity, cheerful attitude and unwavering effort from start to finish.

Well done Year 2!
