Weekly reminders for week beginning 2nd February 2026

Thank you for your on-going support in all that we do. Another good week was had at Clockhouse last week and the children continue to work as hard as they can each and every day. As another week approaches, it is full steam ahead at Clockhouse!

Nursery

We are very much looking forward to welcoming Nursery parents into school on Tuesday and Wednesday for Learn with My Child. Please speak to the Nursery Team if you are not sure which day to attend.

Year 2

We look forward to welcoming our Year 2 parents / carers for Learn with my Child on Thursday morning at 9.10am - 10.10am. Please come for as little or as much as you can. As with the other year groups, regrettably we are unable to accommodate younger siblings at these events.

Year 5

Year 5 have their Space Workshop on Wednesday. Thank you to all those who have already paid for this. If you have not done so, please do so by the end of the day on Monday.

Year 6

Year 6 will be taking part in their next round Mock SATs test this week, please do support them and make sure they get plenty of rest so that they can do their best. This is to help the children prepare for their tests in May as well as to help to inform learning and teaching.

Sport

Good luck to the Year 3 and 4 Girls Football Team who take part in the Borough competition on Wednesday.

It is hard to believe that it is nearly half term. We finish school on Friday 13th February and return to school on Monday 23rd February.

Please be aware there will be no attendance update again this week due to us changing systems - back to normal next week!

Hot Chocolate 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':

Nursery - Abdullah B for being relentless and rigorous in developing his personal hygiene skills.

Reception - Lila M (Northern Ireland) for being relentless and rigorous and doing a wonderful performance of the oral rehearsal of a story.

Year 1 - Vanisha K (Italy) for being relentless and rigorous and always following the 3 Rs whilst also trying her best in all the tasks she has been given.

Year 2 - Ayla-Laila R (Mexico) for being relentless and rigorous and beginning to become more independent in her learning being relentless in her approach.

Year 3 - Ezekiel O (Argentina) for being relentless and rigorous and showing an outstanding effort to learn his times tables

Year 4 - Ellis B (Uganda) because he always tries his hardest in all areas of the curriculum and is always relentless and rigorous towards all of this work.

Year 5 - William K (Japan) for being relentless and rigorous and showing a resilient attitude towards his writing. He worked really hard to include effective vocabulary in his letter.

Year 6 - Ruslan H (Australia) for being relentless and rigorous and showing great focus during our World War Two workshop and asking some thought provoking questions.

Greenland - Kacie V for being relentless and rigorous and engaging in communication sessions and exploring the different communication devices.

Miss Ward - Bella H (Greenland) for being relentless and rigorous and engaging and showing brilliant progress in reading. She is using her phonics and reading skills to help with her reading fluency. We are so proud of her!

Mrs Abeledo - Riley G (France) for being relentless and rigorous to improve his maths skills.

Mrs Savidge - Daisy C (Brazil) for being relentless and rigorous in her pursuit to improve her learning.

Well done to all these children and all the other children who have been seen to be 'Relentless and Rigorous' this week!

Clockhouse Young Voices make us Proud!

A big well done to the Key Stage 2 Choir, who sang with 1000's of other children at the O2 as part of the Young Voices Choir.

They were fantastic!

Well done everyone, you did yourselves and the school proud!

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.
