    A hot weekend for Duke of Edinburgh students

    Well done to eighty two Year 10 students who completed their Duke of Edinburgh Award practice bronze expedition on the weekend of the 7th and 8th May, especially as they were walking in unexpected and exceptionally hot weather conditions. The students walked from St Clement Danes School across the countryside to reach their destination point at Phasels Wood Activity Centre, near Kings Langley. The students cooked a meal on arrival at the centre, and set up camp for the night, before completing their return walk back to school on Sunday.

    Staff members Mrs Kirby and Mr Taylor supported the students behind the scenes, being present throughout the weekend. They have expressed their gratitude to parents and fellow members of staff, who assisted throughout the weekend, and without whom the practice expedition would not have been possible.

    Well done to all the students on completing their practice expedition, and also to all the adult supporters for their help.

    We wish the students every success for their actual expedition in June!

    Sporting Success: A Season of Triumphs for the PE Faculty

    It has been an exceptional start to the year for our sports teams, with pupils across Year 7 and Year 11 delivering outstanding performances on the pitch, the court and the track. Here is a roundup of the latest results from the PE Faculty. Football Successes: The Year 11 Boys football team produced a fantastic display to reach the U16 County Cup Quarter Finals. While all 15 squad members contributed superbly to the team effort, special mention must go to Frankie and Myles, who were named Players of the Match after scoring two spectacular long range strikes. Ollie and Sammy also found the net to complete the scoring. Meanwhile, the Year 7B team showed true grit in wet conditions to secure their second win in the district league against CDS. A great goal from David and a composure-filled penalty from Player of the Match, Zak, secured the victory.  Athletics Achievements: Our Year 7 Athletics teams have seen their dedication pay off after training hard on Thursdays throughout the term. At the TR&W SSP Indoor Athletic Meeting, the Girls’ team took home a brilliant 1st place, while the Boys’ team finished a strong 3rd. We also have a massive individual achievement to celebrate. Theo (Year 7) has been crowned the U13 South of England Shot Put Champion at the Lee Valley Indoor Track. In what was his first-ever indoor competition, Theo smashed his personal best by 50cm. He also showed great pace on the track, reaching the semi-finals of the U13 60m sprint and missing out on the final by a heartbreaking 0.06 seconds. Basketball Season Opener: The basketball season got off to a super start with a thrilling game against Rickmansworth School. In a contest between two evenly matched sides, our team came out on top, led by a fine performance from captain Seth. Congratulations to all pupils for their hard work and sportsmanship!
