Welcome from Felicity Robertshaw-Hughes, Junior School Deputy Head
Clock House is very definitely a part of the wider School family, but perhaps a small nest in the larger tree where the children learn to spread their wings, discover their passions and build strong roots for academic growth. After only a few weeks in the Junior School, a Year 2 parent commented that every morning her child was greeted by name. We knew her already and the family was part of the BGS community. Clock House is small enough to know each child, their needs and passions and nurture these, but with the benefits of the ‘Big School’ as many of our children call it.
