Rosemary Hadfield awarded MBE for services to education

We are delighted to report that Rosemary Hadfield, formerly Chair of Governors at St Clement Danes and now Member and Trustee of the Danes Educational Trust, has been awarded an MBE in the New Year’s Honours List for her services to education over many years as a school governor. Commenting on this award, Rosemary said: “I am so proud to have been awarded this honour; my 30 plus years of governance have been thought provoking, exciting and challenging, enabling me to work with an inspirational head, Dr Valentine and some outstanding and dedicated staff and governors at an excellent school, St Clement Danes. No school can function without a governing body and I am pleased that this personal award recognises the many hours of hard work which volunteers across the country give to our schools.” When Rosemary stepped down as Chair of Governors at the school in Spring 2016, an interview with her appeared in our newsletter which can be read here. The staff and Governors at St Clement Danes are all thrilled that Rosemary has been recognised for her dedication and hard work at the school over many, many years and send our warmest congratulations to her.

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!
