Year 7 Hockey Success

Danes Student Journalist, Connie O'Mahony (7D) reports ...

On Wednesday 7th March, St Clement Danes played RMS for the second time. It was a tournament, and previously we had defeated them, but now they were back, more powerful and more competitive than ever. After some minor issues with team absence, we raced to the Royal Masonic. Our school began to warm up, and within a few minutes, the court was alive. Matilda Beloou started with the ball and it was swiftly passed to Libby Carstairs. The game was evenly matched; the referees weren’t biased and there were no fouls. We were playing well, but to win (or lose) a goal had to be scored. It was the last minute, and still no one had even attempted to shoot. From where I was on the pitch, I could not see the goal very well, but to my knowledge it was passed to Eloise Murray, who dribbled to Nia Randhawa, who tapped it into the goal. Immediately the referee blew the whistle and the game was over. We had won our first match! Three more games and lots of cheering followed and we came third overall.

Year 8 Swimmers Make Waves at County Championships

We are delighted to announce that two of our Year 8 pupils, Sam C and Grace F, have achieved significant success in the pool, qualifying for and competing at the prestigious County Swimming Championships. Qualification for Counties is a major milestone in the swimming world. To be eligible, swimmers must achieve strict published qualifying times and rank within the top 25 competitors in their age group across the entire county. Both students have demonstrated exceptional talent to reach this elite standard. Sam has secured his place in an incredible variety of events, demonstrating his versatility across both sprints and long-distance endurance races. Representing Berkhamsted Swim Club, Sam will be competing at the Westminster Lodge Leisure Centre in St Albans throughout January. His comprehensive schedule includes: Freestyle: 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, and 1500m Butterfly: 50m, 100m, and 200m Individual Medley: 100m, 200m, and 400m Matching this high standard of performance is Grace F, who represents the U13 age group. Grace has already secured a fantastic 9th place ranking in the county for the 100m breaststroke. Beyond this individual success, Grace is a dedicated member of Ricky Swim Club and a vital part of the SCD team, regularly representing the school in the Herts League. Reaching this level requires a sustained and high level of commitment. Over the past eight months, both swimmers have balanced intense training schedules and regular licensed galas alongside their academic studies. Their success is a testament not only to their athletic ability but also to their discipline and excellent time management. Please join us in congratulating Grace on her top10 ranking and wis
