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!

Pupil journalist Sam B secures national 'Student Voices' award

Our  talented pupil, Sam B, Year 9, has been named one of just five winners nationwide in the prestigious ' The Day's Student Voices Young Journalist Awards 2026. Sam B clinched the honour with a compelling, insightful opinion piece titled, “Life Isn't All Sunshine And Rainbows But It's Not Doom And Gloom Either.” The competition judges praised the passion, positivity and exceptional eloquence of Sam’s writing. As part of the winner's package, the article was officially published on The Day’s global Student Voices platform on 15th June, alongside the national announcement of the competition winners. Sam’s award-winning article takes critical aim at the modern media landscape, arguing that mainstream platforms rely on sensationalism and fear to drive reader engagement. The piece contrasts historical anxieties with today's relentless news cycle, which feeds on global catastrophes. While acknowledging real hardships, Sam warns that constant access to bleak updates is mentally exhausting and traps younger generations in a false sense of hopelessness.  Far from advocating for purposeful ignorance, Sam urges readers to stay informed while remembering how far humanity has progressed. The essay highlights that we are living in a golden age of technology and medical achievement.  Ultimately, the award-winning piece serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's inherent resilience and proven ability to thrive in the face of adversity. As Sam beautifully concludes, "It's important to keep positive, because whatever happens, humans always adapt and never lose hope." The entire St Clement Danes community extends its warmest congratulations to Sam on this incredible achievement
