“I would definitely recommend Clock House to others.”
Meet Roop
YEAR 6 PUPIL – 2019/20
“My parents drop me off at school at the drop off point at 8.15am and I go into the playground to play.
I know there’s always going to be someone there who will play with me and want to play a game that I will like as much as they will like. Mrs Merckx, who’s in charge of the playground, then blows a whistle and we go through the gate.
“I go straight to the classroom and say good morning and unpack my bag so I’ve got everything ready. Sometimes we have assembly and it will be on different things. One can be to talk about events which are happening, another will be about celebrations where they pick people from each class and talk about what they’ve achieved.”
“The lessons are really good and they’re 40 minutes long.
I’ve been coming to Clock House since I was in Year 2 and I can remember one of the things I was concerned about was not being able to find my classroom. But I remember everyone was really welcoming and they helped me if I got lost.
‘We don’t learn in a ‘get your book out and write all this down’ kind of way; we learn through activities that are really fun. We enjoy it so we learn it properly. My favourite lesson is English and I love reading books like The Trials of Apollo with Percy Jackson.”
“The times for lunch vary for each year group.
We eat in the dinner hall in Senior School and Year 6 go across at 12.10pm. The food is really good. I like how they have vegetarian options for people or sandwiches if you don’t want a hot meal. There are different sized tables in the dining hall – some are for four, some are for six etc.
When you’re all in a line you always find someone to sit next to. It’s really friendly. It’s hard not to make friends when you’re at school! We eat for about half an hour then we go out or to a club.”
