Students are highly commended in annual NHS Schools' Competition

Earlier this term, all students in Year 9 entered the annual NHS Competition. They were asked to produce a job description and advertisement for a role in the NHS. They used an IT lesson to complete a personality quiz and research all the careers available on the NHS website. In tutor time and Personal Development sessions they created job adverts for their chosen career. This year there were over 3,500 entries from all over the country.

We were delighted that 11 of our students across four tutor groups were awarded Highly Commended certificates.

Huge congratulations to the following who chose to research into these careers:

9A  Josh Beesening, Kai Tyrer  - drama therapist

9C  Lucy Skelhorn, Asher Rose, Elysia Ayling - paramedic

9L  Lexia Manson- Bishop, Sophie Marston, Sia Thaker  - midwife

9S  Noor Ashgar, Ellie Morgan, Frankie Shires  - paediatrician

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
