SCD win County League Finals

At the end of the best ever season for athletics at St Clement Danes, students headed to the County League Finals at Dacorum Athletics Track, Jarman Park, Hemel Hempstead on Tuesday 5th July. Three out of the four teams had already topped their Area League earlier in the term and Tuesday saw the students battling it out against the very best schools in Hertfordshire. The Under 14 Girls and Under 14 Boys teams were crowned County League Final winners and the Under 16 Girls were only narrowly beaten into second place. The Under 16 Boys also finished strongly, placing as the sixth best team in Hertfordshire.

Congratulations to all the teams on their well-deserved success and to all the individual students who have performed consistently well throughout a long and gruelling season!

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
