Students awarded Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award certificates

Year 10 students were presented with their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh certificates and badges in assembly today, as a result of completing their expeditions last year. One hundred and ninety seven students have achieved their Bronze awards - a record number at St Clement Danes School!

The school supports a large number of students who are engaged in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. At present there are cohorts of 139, 57 and 19 students, who, respectively, are working towards their Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards.

Four students have recently achieved their Gold Awards, two of whom will be attending a presentation at St James Palace on 17th May, when they will be formally presented with their awards by a member of the Royal family.

Congratulations to all the students for achieving their awards. The skills and attributes that they have developed during the programme will no doubt be an invaluable asset in the future, both at school and in the workplace. Thanks are given to Duke of Edinburgh Coordinators, teaching staff Mrs Kirby and Mr Taylor, and all the staff and parents who have so generously given their time to support the students throughout the award scheme.  Well done to all involved for making this such a great success!

The programme continues to run at the school, and further information can be found below:

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
