Royal Shakespeare Company Macbeth Workshop

Unfortunately due to technical difficulties at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, Year 11 were unable to attend the opening night of the newest production of ‘Macbeth’.

In place of the trip, the RSC sent a group of its most talented young actors and directors to provide a workshop for the Year 11 students instead.

The entire year group had the opportunity to not only watch the group perform some of the most iconic and pivotal scenes in the play, but to then re-direct the scene based on their own knowledge. The students excelled in utilising their understanding of the characters, key themes and context to change how the actors portrayed the characters, staged the scene and delivered the lines.

The workshop provided an interesting insight in to how theatre is created, as well as providing a valuable revision resource for students in the run up to their GCSE English literature exams – we wish them the best of luck!

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
