Clockhouse School

Clockhouse Primary school held its first Parents Association fundraising event today, Saturday 19th May, with a Pirates and Princess day. Residents Association Action members came along to support the day. Both Karen and Graham Price and Kevin Tonks popped their heads in for a while to see how the day was going. For Karen, it was a trip down memory lane, as she was a former pupil of the school, a little while ago we might add !


Clockhouse has gone through a big change in the last 6 to 12 months, with the former Junior and Infant schools merging to become a primary school and nursery. It was a big step for the school and so far things seem to be o.k. for them.

This event also marks the beginning of the first Parents Association in the school, this is also a big step, as it will allow the school to receive further funding from event such as this that are organised for the benefit of the school. The day raised over £1200, which is a fantastic start, event organiser Louise Stokoe (pictured with the Mayor on the left along with the Head Teacher on the right) done a wonderful job of co-ordinating the whole thing.


Cllr Mann said "I will be looking forward very much to the next event, the school children will benefit hugely from the fund raising efforts of parents and the local community"

Havering Mayor, Cllr Georgina Galpin also made a visit to the school, (pictured with Karen and Graham Price) which is nice for the children, as they always like to see the Mayor, especially in her robes.
