Work Begins on the 3G Pitch

After 3 years at St Clement Danes, (and 15 years for those involved at Chorleywood Common Youth Football Club, the CCYFC), we are pleased to announce that work began on the 25th January 2021 on our new 3G pitch. There has been a degree of “never-ending shade” regarding whether we could provide the full size floodlit 3G pitch for both, the students of St Clement Danes School and the wider Chorleywood Community, but we are delighted that construction has now begun and is estimated to take 15 weeks to complete. 

The school has worked in partnership with the Premier League, the Football Association (FA) Facilities Fund, the Holborn Estate Charity, the Anchor Fund, the Parents’ Association and CCYFC to fund and realise this opportunity for students at St Clement Danes and those in the wider community for years to come. We will continue to communicate further details with you and those who will benefit from the new facility in due course.

Please see the pre-construction 'before' pictures of the 3G Pitch.

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
