Gym and Dance 2018

Danes Student Journalists, Evie James (7A) and Lucy Douglas (7T) report ...

The gym and dance display took place on the 6th - 7th February in the Barbirolli hall. The student performed many outstanding routines including Gymnastics, Acro gym, vaulting, Trampolining, ballet and many more. Lauren Molsher (7 Clare) took part in two gym pieces and later commented: “It was amazing to see people express their emotions through performing and doing what they love.” Madison Colman (7 Clement) agreed, saying: “I loved taking part in the display because it’s exciting to see what people have accomplished.”

Congratulations to everyone who participated and contributed to the performance. It was a brilliant opportunity for St Clement Danes to show off their incredibly talented students. Thank you to Miss Welford and all the staff who made it happen.

Impressive low scores as pupils compete at Beaconsfield Golf club

On Tuesday 3rd March, 16 pupils represented the school in the annual SCD Pupil Golf Competition at the prestigious Beaconsfield Golf Club. The day was defined by fine weather and a course in immaculate condition, providing the perfect stage for some truly exceptional performances. It was particularly encouraging to see a mix of new faces joining the regular participants, with all pupils taking full advantage of the world-class facilities on offer throughout the day. The competition remained fierce until the final hole, but it was Josh R (Year 13) who ultimately secured victory, successfully retaining his title with an incredibly impressive score of three under par (69). This victory serves as a fitting milestone for Josh as he prepares for the next chapter of his sporting journey; following his A-levels, he will be moving to the United States to enroll at a university in Idaho, where he will continue to pursue his professional golf career. The leaderboard reflected the high standard of play across the field, with Freddy M (Year 9) taking second place with a solid three over par (75), and Luke M (Year 13) securing third with a resilient five over par (77). The event once again highlighted the depth of sporting talent within the school and the commitment of our pupils to excelling in their extracurricular pursuits.

Future engineers reach new heights at Cambridge physics experience

Members of the Year 7 and 8 Science Club recently swapped the classroom for the historic halls of the University of Cambridge, taking part in the prestigious Cambridge Physics Experience. The day began with an inspiring tour of Churchill College, where pupils gained a unique insight into the architectural and academic history of the site. This was followed by an engaging presentation on university life, highlighting the long-term benefits of higher education and offering the group a glimpse into the exciting opportunities that await them in the future. The afternoon shifted from theory to practical engineering as the pupils were tasked with a series of high-stakes Martian challenges. Working in competitive teams, they were charged with designing and building model Mars Rovers capable of navigating a simulated rocky and sandy Martian terrain. In addition to the rovers, the teams had to construct landing modules engineered to survive a precarious drop from a high balcony. The competition was fierce, but it was our very own team 'Dux' that claimed the title of overall winners. Their rover outperformed the field by traveling the furthest distance across the challenging surface. Furthermore, their meticulous approach to the mass and structural integrity of their landing module paid off, resulting in a perfectly soft landing that impressed the judges. It was a fantastic day of hands-on science that showcased the ingenuity and teamwork of our junior scientists.
