World Book Day

World Book Day was held on Thursday 5th March 2020. The day is an annual event organised by the World Book Day Charity, and its mission is to provide every child and young person a book of their own. The day is a celebration of authors, illustrators, books and reading.

At St Clement Danes School our librarians Mrs Gustafsson and Mrs Murray organised a day full of activities to celebrate the day. Various competitions were held including a 'Book Cover Treasure Hunt', where students searched the school to find book cover pictures, a ‘Build a Book Tower’ competition, a ‘Guess the Teacher’ competition and ‘The Big Book Quiz’.  

The English Faculty staff also took an active part in the day, joining in the spirit of the day dressed up as their favourite book characters!

There was also a tremendous response to the Staff World Book Day Quiz across all faculties and departments. Library staff said that the competition was very close and congratulations go to the winners- Visitor Reception!

Thank you to Mrs Gustafsson and Mrs Murray for organising such a fun filled World Book Day at St Clement Danes School! The day was enjoyed by students and staff alike and the delicious prizes were also very much appreciated! (Please see the gallery below for photographs of the event).

Sporting Success: A Season of Triumphs for the PE Faculty

It has been an exceptional start to the year for our sports teams, with pupils across Year 7 and Year 11 delivering outstanding performances on the pitch, the court and the track. Here is a roundup of the latest results from the PE Faculty. Football Successes: The Year 11 Boys football team produced a fantastic display to reach the U16 County Cup Quarter Finals. While all 15 squad members contributed superbly to the team effort, special mention must go to Frankie and Myles, who were named Players of the Match after scoring two spectacular long range strikes. Ollie and Sammy also found the net to complete the scoring. Meanwhile, the Year 7B team showed true grit in wet conditions to secure their second win in the district league against CDS. A great goal from David and a composure-filled penalty from Player of the Match, Zak, secured the victory.  Athletics Achievements: Our Year 7 Athletics teams have seen their dedication pay off after training hard on Thursdays throughout the term. At the TR&W SSP Indoor Athletic Meeting, the Girls’ team took home a brilliant 1st place, while the Boys’ team finished a strong 3rd. We also have a massive individual achievement to celebrate. Theo (Year 7) has been crowned the U13 South of England Shot Put Champion at the Lee Valley Indoor Track. In what was his first-ever indoor competition, Theo smashed his personal best by 50cm. He also showed great pace on the track, reaching the semi-finals of the U13 60m sprint and missing out on the final by a heartbreaking 0.06 seconds. Basketball Season Opener: The basketball season got off to a super start with a thrilling game against Rickmansworth School. In a contest between two evenly matched sides, our team came out on top, led by a fine performance from captain Seth. Congratulations to all pupils for their hard work and sportsmanship!
