Easter Concert 2018

Tonight’s Easter concert yet again provided talent, emotion and virtuosity, this time accompanied by a … fancy dress vulture. Only at St Clement Danes! As Mr Sutherland rightly said at the end, when you have been at the school for a while, you forget that this is not normal for a secondary school music concert; our audience were certainly treated to a fantastic set of performances tonight. From incredible solos to note perfect ensembles, an eclectic mix of composers in a varied programme was thoroughly enjoyed by all. It was a fitting send off for some talented Year 13s in their last ever SCD concert. Danes Student Journalist, Connie O'Mahony 7D, who sings in Junior Choir, said “It’s an amazing opportunity to sing the songs you love with people who love them as much as you do”. The enjoyment of the students was certainly apparent, as those in the audience will testify. Many thanks to Miss Stevens, Mr Butterfield, the music prefects, peris and Mrs Roxon for all their hard work.

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
