Cross Country
Running into History!
Sportsmanship was a key element that shone through in their performance. They celebrated both their successes and others with genuine delight. Encouraging words were shared, helping everyone to feel motivated and appreciated. The team's positive attitudes created an inclusive and uplifting atmosphere.
Clockhouse had a fantastic outcome at the end of the day, with Year 6 girls finishing in 5th place overall against 24 other schools. Year 6 boys finished with an impressive result of coming 11th out of 24 schools. Year 5 also worked extremely hard with the girls finishing 15th and the boys coming in 10th place. With the combined scores Year 5 and 6 girls finished in 9th position with the Year 5 and 6 boys coming in 11th place overall, what a fantastic achievement for Clockhouse. We are so impressed with the progress of cross country this year, well done to you all.

Mr Yarrow commented on the performance saying 'This is arguably the best the school has ever done at Cross Country. To have a team finish 4th overall and some amazing individual placings is a credit to the hard work the children put in.'
Thank you to Mr Pye and Mrs Schoolhammer for working with the squad and thank you to parents for transporting the children.
Cross Country challenges you both physically and mentally. I have always said the pupils at Clockhouse are tenacious and this just proves it. I am very proud of everyone involved!'
