SCD Becomes National Computing Hub

St Clement Danes School is delighted to announce that it has been successful in its bid to become one of the first of 23 National Computing Hubs. 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’.

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
