Clockhouse Weekly Wow

Here is last week's Weekly Wow and as usual there were a lot of things to 'wow' about last week.



Time to CELEBRATE - Value Champion Alert!

We are very excited and pleased to share with you our next Clockhouse Value Champion of 2025-2026!

A huge congratulations to

James M-H (New Zealand)

who has earned the Excitement Champion Award for 2025-2026!


This student has always impressed me with their thirst for learning and excitement for so many things related to school. Since I first met them, they have come such a long way with developing their positivity and willingness to share their ideas with the rest of the class. They never fail to bring a smile to my face and they have been a pleasure to have in my class again. 

Harry G (Brazil)

who has earned the Excellence Champion Award for 2025-2026!


Harry has received an Excellence Award for the effort he has made to become more independent in all tasks. He has developed a more positive attitude towards completing tasks, even when they are challenging or not his favourite. Harry is always willing to help in class and has consistently shown excellence in both his learning and behaviour.

Thea S (Argentina)

who has earned the Nurture Champion Award for 2025-2026!


Thea has earned the Nurturing value badge for the exceptional care and kindness she showed during the Young Voices choir event at the O2. She was incredibly supportive of others, especially one pupil, always making sure he felt safe and not overwhelmed. By listening, reassuring him and answering his questions, she was a fabulous role model to everyone.

Antalia D (Peru)

who has earned the Excellence Champion Award for 2025-2026!


She always shows the 3Rs in class. She excels herself at every level and pushes herself beyond her boundaries by never giving up. Keep up the hard work! 

Piper M (France)

who has earned the Nurture Champion Award for 2025-2026!


Piper has impressed me the last few weeks in the way that she goes out of her way to support and nurture other children in the class who might be finding things difficult; therefore, she has earned the Nurture value badge for the exceptional care and kindness she shows to others every day. She is a wonderful role model, supporting her peers by encouraging them as they move around the school and making sure no one feels alone. Her thoughtful actions show just how much she cares about the wellbeing of others.

Harper T (France)

who has earned the Nurture Champion Award for 2025-2026!


Harper is receiving the Nurture value badge for her consistently caring and supportive attitude towards others. She goes out of her way to help children feel confident and included, often literally offering a helping hand to help support and guide them up and down corridors or flights of stairs. She always has a friendly word of encouragement and it has been wonderful to see how her kindness and encouragement make a real difference to those around her.


A huge well done from everyone at Clockhouse - wear your Values Champion Badge with pride!

A Great Day Out for Year 6

As part of their learning about World War II, Year 6 had a great time at the Royal Gunpowder Mills.

They got to hear and learn about lots of interesting information about this period in history as well as learning from a range of primary sources, They asked some great questions using all that they have learned so far during their World War II theme.

Year 6 also showed themselves to be great Clockhouse Citizens and represented the school perfectly throughout the day.
