Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Good afternoon Clockhouse
Well done last week – how are you all finding home schooling?
You have all amazed us with you commitment and support and again thank you for your kind messages, support and respect during this hard time. It is hard for us all but is made so much easier by you working with us!
I hope you are all keeping well and staying indoors for the good of everyone! We do continue to ask that you do not put undue pressure on yourselves or the children at this difficult time. Please remember that whilst learning is important to keep some routine going, having fun is also equally important.
As we get more used to this new regime, I wanted to keep you up to date with what it happening:
Please keep sharing your pictures with us, we love seeing them. Be sharing with us via class dojo or our other platforms, we will take this as your consent for wider sharing. If you do not want photos shared please do not send them.
These are very strange, unprecedented times. I really am doing my best as are the team but please bear with us!
I am sure you will want to join with me in thanking those in our community who are front line and key workers and also our great staff team who are working so hard during this difficult time.
Thank you for your kind messages and on-going support, it really keeps us going and makes us smile.
We are still one community and are here for you all. Our school – a family and a home for everyone!

Good afternoon Clockhouse
This is a bit different to the normal weekly reminders and we will be genuinely sad not to see you all tomorrow! We hope you are all ok and we know you are doing your very best in these unprecedented circumstances. We do ask that you do not put undue pressure on yourselves as this is new territory for us all.
Please do be aware that you will not be allowed into school as of tomorrow, so please do not arrive tomorrow morning unless you have been joined to Class Hawaii on Dojo and have received a message from me this morning. This is for those that need childcare and meet the criteria as defined by the Government.
There are a few things that you need to know:
We have a list of different ways to keep in touch so watch this space! We will be setting small daily challenges for those who are at home and ask that you share some photos with us of that you are getting up to, please share via your own child’s story or messaging service. As far as is possible we will share some of these with you all via all the different platforms we have. By sharing with us via class dojo, we will take this as your consent for wider sharing. If you do not want photos shared please do not send them. We will also be sending a whole school message every day. Watch this space!
These are very strange, unprecedented times. I really am doing my best as are the team but please bear with us whilst we get into a routine.
I am sure you will want to join with me in thanking those in our community who are front line and key workers and also our great staff team who are working so hard during this difficult time.
