Launch of the SCD Eco-Team!

Last term our Year 9 students Rosa P, Armajot S, Harry G and Tamsyn W, along with the support of the Duke of Edinburgh prefects, Evie M and Thomas M celebrated the creation of St Clement Danes’ (SCD) very first ECO-team, led by Mrs Kirby Duke of Edinburgh manager. Please watch the video that was shared in assembly recently, highlighting the objectives and initiatives of the ECO-team, a primary one being to reduce the litter around the school and encourage recycling.  

Over the coming months students will launch the Eco-School programme and will be inviting everyone at SCD to get involved as we work towards our green flag status. Students who volunteer on the Eco-Team can count the hours towards their Duke of Edinburgh Award Volunteering section.  

Do watch out for the next update!

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
