Tremendous Olympics achievement for Old Dane Jeremy Rice

Congratulations to Old Dane Jeremy Rice, olympic skeleton competitor, on his fantastic success at the Olympic Games PyeongChang 2018!

Jeremy celebrated a top 10 finish on his olympic debut as he was placed 10th in a time of 3 minutes 24.24 seconds. This was just over two seconds behind fellow team GB member and Olympic Bronze Medal winner Dom Parsons, who won Great Britain’s first Olympic Men’s Skeleton medal since 1948!

Jeremy was interviewed after his success  saying “I wanted a top 12 and I’m over the moon to be top 10. I put down four solid runs and, in the end, consistency always wins out in a four-run race. Dom finished tenth in Sochi four years ago and I see myself on that same trajectory. It definitely gives me an extra drive for the Beijing Olympics in 2022.”

The St Clement Danes community were thrilled to learn of Jeremy's success, and send our congratulations on his inspirational achievement. We wish Jeremy continuing success for his training towards Beijing in 2022!

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!
