Ice Lollies with the Head

As you all know we are constantly striving to improve Clockhouse for your children. 

This year we are 'Relentless and Rigorous' in everything we do 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 Abeledo 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 be 'Relentless and Rigorous':

Year 5 - Riley F (Japan) for always being relentless and rigorous in his learning both at school and at home.
Year 6 - Noah B (Australia) for being relentless and rigorous and stepping out of his comfort zone. He embraced all activities whilst in Brighton.
