Business students pitch ideas at National Enterprise Competition

On Friday 16th March, judges from the Ryman National Enterprise Challenge visited St Clement Danes School to hear 110 Year 10 Business students pitching their ideas.

This year's challenge was for teams to develop and market a product for the back to school market. The winning team consisted of team members - Sara John, Lily Skourides, Louis Morgan, Chris Ayyildiz, Poppy Cantwell and Will Pearman with their product - a "School Survival Kit". The team will now go through to the national finals, which will be held in Telford in July. The overall winning team of the National Enterprise Challenge will have their product launched in the shops by Theo Paphitis, who is the overall judge of the competition.

The challenge is the largest schools' enterprise challenge in the UK. Since launching in 2013 it has been delivered to over 140,000 young people from over 200 schools from across the UK. The programme has received high profile support from entrepreneurs such as Theo Paphitis, Lord Sugar and a large number of high profile organisations, including Staffordshire University.

We wish the team every success in July, and well done to all the students who took part in the challenge.

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!
