"Go around, not below 450 feet"

Hi all,
Another RT-related question (which I will pose to my instructor), but thought I'd gather some thoughts from you guys too.

PPL student, on my second solo circuit consolidation flight. On the base leg the Tower tells me "just to warn you, this one may be to go-around as we've got the surface & light inspection going on." Me: "roger."

On final, "G-xx go around, not below 450 feet". Me: "Going around, G-xx"

Climbing away I wasn't sure if I was expected to continue the approach to 450 feet and then go around if no landing clearance received, or go around straight away.

Looking back, I'm sure I did the right thing by going around immediately, just looking to get your views & opinions.

I will also take a look in CAP413 now.

Thanks.
Rich
