We will be working in partnership with STEM Learning, Raspberry Pi Foundation and BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT, to deliver an innovative and research-based CPDL offer which seeks to ensure the National Centre for Computing Education's vision that every child in every school in England is in receipt of a world-leading computing education.

Already Lead School for the exceptionally successful South Central Science Learning Partnership, led by Mandy Quinton, the Herts and Bucks Challenge Partners’ Hub and the Herts and Bucks Teaching School Alliance, St Clement Danes School is committed to a system leadership which seeks to capitalise upon the very best of collaborative working to maximise attainment, achievement and, ultimately, life chances for all.

We look forward to working closely with our colleagues at Sandringham School, Newstead Wood School, Langley Grammar School and our Regional Network Lead, Shelley Hancock, to ensure, in the words of Simon Peyton Jones, high quality computing provision is ‘a vibrant reality in every classroom’.

Year 8 Swimmers Make Waves at County Championships

We are delighted to announce that two of our Year 8 pupils, Sam C and Grace F, have achieved significant success in the pool, qualifying for and competing at the prestigious County Swimming Championships. Qualification for Counties is a major milestone in the swimming world. To be eligible, swimmers must achieve strict published qualifying times and rank within the top 25 competitors in their age group across the entire county. Both students have demonstrated exceptional talent to reach this elite standard. Sam has secured his place in an incredible variety of events, demonstrating his versatility across both sprints and long-distance endurance races. Representing Berkhamsted Swim Club, Sam will be competing at the Westminster Lodge Leisure Centre in St Albans throughout January. His comprehensive schedule includes: Freestyle: 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, and 1500m Butterfly: 50m, 100m, and 200m Individual Medley: 100m, 200m, and 400m Matching this high standard of performance is Grace F, who represents the U13 age group. Grace has already secured a fantastic 9th place ranking in the county for the 100m breaststroke. Beyond this individual success, Grace is a dedicated member of Ricky Swim Club and a vital part of the SCD team, regularly representing the school in the Herts League. Reaching this level requires a sustained and high level of commitment. Over the past eight months, both swimmers have balanced intense training schedules and regular licensed galas alongside their academic studies. Their success is a testament not only to their athletic ability but also to their discipline and excellent time management. Please join us in congratulating Grace on her top10 ranking and wis
