SCD School Making their Mark in Music

We are delighted to announce that St Clement Danes School has been nominated for a second time as a Music Mark School, the first being in 2018-2019.

Music Mark is an organisation, subject association and charity. All Music Mark schools demonstrate the following benefits of music education:

  • boosts school improvement
  • improves learning skills
  • fosters team working
  • builds life skills
  • underpins better behaviour
  • encourages creativity
  • is for life
  • an educational building block
  • is fun
  • is for everyone

 

As a Music Mark school St Clement Danes is now recognised for the value we place on music whilst ensuring our pupils are able to access and engage with a high-quality music education. The school’s dedication to offering and delivering a broad and balanced curriculum is welcomed and celebrated.

We have always been extremely proud of our Music Faculty, led by Miss Stevens Director of Music, and our talented students who year after year delight us with their spectacular concerts and individual performances. Some of our Danes have gone on to become successful stars in their own right within the music industry, such as acclaimed singer songwriter Sarah Griffiths, now professionally known as Griffs and the singer songwriter Jack Garrett, who has had two extremely successful album releases to date.

We look forward to collaborating further with Music Mark in advocating and supporting high quality music education for our school community to enjoy.

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!
