Fantastic attendance at Apprenticeship Evening!

As part of National Apprenticeship Week (3rd – 9th February), we held an Apprenticeship evening to outline the opportunities offered within the apprenticeship career pathway. We were delighted to have some previous St Clement Danes students talk about how their careers have developed since they left school. Tom Stratton-Carr from HSBC, Charlotte Winder from GSK, Jess Bellamy from Nestle and Jake Colton from Sky were incredibly informative and enthusiastic about the degree apprenticeships they have undertaken with their employers. The NHS spoke about the range of opportunities they have on offer, including those beyond the obvious in the healthcare sector, David Ritchie discussed the benefits of the route into employment, and the ASK Apprenticeships organisation gave an insight into the application process. With almost 400 attendees, the event proved to be very popular and we are now looking to create future events with even more specific guidance for students in different year groups.

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
