Jim Stokoe (I believe that’s the correct spelling) also co-composed some of the Central jingles and at least one of the ITV Schools tracks from 1986.

Is this the reconstruction you were referring to, Sparky?

Jim had worked in the Graphics & Promotions unit at ATV since sometime around 1972-4. He arranged/composed (jointly) with Peter Bennet the ATV-Today theme used to accompany the striped titles / old counties titles used between August 1976 & August 1980. (Titled something like Highway Traffic)

At Central, he was head of promotions and as you say - was responsible to composing quite a few of the jingles used in the Central re-brand post 1985 - and - alongside Johnny Patrick, music used for ITV Schools (on ITV)
I think - for the schools stuff, he worked alongside Errol Reid.
Around that period - there didn't seem to be a lot of variation in music on ITV Schools - much of the music seemed to consist of handful of tracks composed by Errol Reid / Jim Stocko / James Aldernham.
Around this time, they ditched screening the Mechanical Clock live on air; using a recorded caption free, colour synthisized version shot to VT.
There was also a 20minute bulk print  of captionless black backed clock too (10 runs if clock seperated with 60sec leader)
