Music Successes

Our year 12 music class visited a professional recording studio in London, to learn more about how the studio functions and how the music industry runs. During this trip, Simran was able to record one of her original songs accompanied by Joseph. They produced a brilliant track that the record producer at the studio helped mix and master. It was a day filled with knowledge, that the pupils then took away to write a report about. I would like to extend a massive congratulations to them on their hard work, ethic and positive attitude displayed during the visit.

The music department held its annual Christmas Showcase on the 6th of December. The night was filled full of musical talent from pupils of all ages and across all three sites. We would like to extend a massive thank you to all the staff who supported the event, including: the finance team, IT team, site team, Office staff, Food tech team and everyone who came to watch and support our pupils! Videos from the event, can be found on our Instagram page @RobertClackMusic.

Our whole school choir went to Queens Hospital and Romford City Centre, to perform Christmas Carols and raise money for King George and Queen’s Hospital. Our first stop was at Queens Hospital, where our choir attracted a great crowd! We even had some dementia patients who wanted to sit next to our choir and sing along with them. It was a magical moment that our pupils were very grateful for. We received amazing feedback from the staff at the hospital and the audience that watched.

We then went to the Liberty at Romford and did more singing there. We attracted big crowds and our pupils received amazing feedback and cheering from the public. Although it was a long and tiring day of singing, our pupils were buzzing with excitement! On top of that, our pupils came back to school and then went to Gosfield Road to conduct rehearsals for High School Musical. It is so amazing to see our pupils showing dedication to music at Robert Clack!

Library Homework Club

By mhooper • November 12, 2026

Our Library Homework Club is open to all students of all year groups until 4pm throughout the academic year, and until 5pm during exam periods. It is an opportunity for our students to complete homework and revise in a quiet, safe space where they can prioritise learning and concentration. It has been fantastic to see students making use of this space, especially during the recent mock examinations. Pictured is Samiyah in Year 10, who was revising in preparation for her maths mock examinations that were occurring over the coming days. We welcome and encourage all students to attend so that they may achieve their very best.

Debate Club Murder Mystery

By mhooper • November 11, 2026

The school’s Debate Club traded cross-examinations for criminal investigations this week in a high-stakes murder mystery game designed entirely by members Victor and Adam. The event delivered an extraordinarily lively atmosphere, powered by the duo's impressive attention to detail. Victor and Adam spent weeks crafting an intricate crime scene complete with handwritten suspect notes, detailed mock police reports, and physical clues designed to challenge even the sharpest analytical minds. Debaters quickly put their logic skills to the test, fiercely cross-examining suspects and debating timeline discrepancies before a team of student sleuths finally cracked the case. The evening was a total success, proving the club can dissect a crime scene just as effectively as a policy motion.

Cross Country Winners

By mhooper • November 10, 2026

On Friday 6th November, our cross country team represented the school in a 2500m run at Pages Wood. We had six teams across the different age groups. Year 7 runner Adele achieved the bronze medal in the Year 7 girls' race, and Year 8 runner Abbie achieved the silver medal in the Year 8 & 9 girls' race. In the Year 9 & 10 boys' race, Sidi achieved the silver medal and David achieved the bronze medal. As well as winning four medals, the team came joint first overall with Barking Abbey. Well done to all our students on this fantastic achievement.

China Trip October 2026

By mhooper • November 2, 2026

This October half-term, 38 students from across our three sites and a range of year groups flew out to China for our annual exchange programme. The week-long trip consisted of a combination of amazing cultural activities, school visits, traditional food, and lots of shopping. Students had the opportunity to climb the Great Wall of China, go on a boat ride, and walk around the Forbidden City. They also visited four different schools, ranging from kindergartens to high schools. Despite their intense, action-packed days, the students still managed to keep their spirits high. Well done to all the students involved. Your behaviour was amazing, and you were great ambassadors not just for our school, but for the country! Thank you to Mr Walker and Mr Curtis for organizing the trip, and to the PTA for their funding support.
