Engineers of the future flock to St Clement Danes

A day’s events to celebrate “2018: The Year of Engineering” took place at St Clement Danes School on Tuesday 20th March. STEM ambassadors provided activities for children from 6 local primary schools during the afternoon which ranged from a careers carousel to building a bobsleigh out of Knex. In the evening, 30 engineers from 25 companies provided stalls in a huge range of fields, from the armed forces to virtual reality technology. With over 500 visitors, the event proved hugely popular, with students and their parents able to ask questions and take part in hands on activities such as 3D imaging of visitors’ hands. Event organiser Mrs Quinton said “We were delighted with the response to this event and thrilled to see so many students from St Clement Danes and surrounding schools at the evening. All our visitors were able to take advantage of the opportunity to find out more about how they can apply their STEM learning from school to careers they might pursue in later life. The engineers gave their time freely and we are very grateful indeed to them all for taking part in this celebration of Engineering.”

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
