Performing Arts Faculty Launch Poster Competition

The Performing Arts Faculty, led by Mrs Ingleby, have launched an exciting and fun poster competition where they have challenged students (and their families!) to create a poster of a well known movie or theatre production of their choice.

The poster will need to be submitted as a photo and is a great creative opportunity for all the family to get involved during this period of lockdown. Why not consider your costume, adding hair and make-up? Can you create a makeshift set or background with the materials you have at home? Can you add the title of the movie and the credits?

All entries need to be submitted by Monday 8th February to the school enquiries email address enquiries@stclementdanes.herts.sch.uk

Mrs Ingleby will be judging the competition and the subsequent winner will be announced on Friday 12th February.

Please note: By sharing a photo you understand and give consent for St Clement Danes School to share it internally, via the school website and the school twitter account. If shared, only first names will be used. Additionally, all entries must be appropriate, for example nothing of a 15 rating or above or depicting unsavoury images.

We are absolutely delighted to announce a tremendous success following the recent Anchor Fund ‘£25 for 25 Year’ initiative. Thanks to an amazing collective effort from our school community, we have raised a total of £12,709. This is a substantial amount that will make an immediate and positive difference to the learning environment and the opportunities available to our pupils We are incredibly proud of the pupils who fundraised with such enthusiasm and determination. Their commitment has been nothing short of inspiring, and we offer our congratulations to everyone who participated in raising such a significant sum. To honour these efforts, we will be presenting commemorative badges and rewards to the highest-raising form groups over the next few weeks. We would like to extend a huge thank you to the staff for supporting this initiative and ensuring that pupils were engaged in a wide range of fundraising activities.We also want to express our sincere gratitude to our parents and carers, as your generosity and support behind the scenes were instrumental in helping us reach this ambitious goal. Regarding the use of these funds, we will be meeting with the Student Council to discuss their proposals and finalise how best to invest this money back into the school to benefit all pupils. We are eagerly awaiting their inspirational ideas and will share the final investment plan with you once it is confirmed. The fundamental aim of the Anchor Fund is to support the educational development of pupils at St Clement Danes School, making projects possible that might otherwise feel impossible due to financial constraints. To that end, we will continue to keep the donation pages live so that any last-minute donations and outstanding fundraising money can still be submitted. Thank you once again for your incredible support; it was a great effort. Well done to all. MONTHLY DONATION ONLINE ANCHOR FUND 25 YEAR CELEBRATION DONATION PAGE

Future Leaders Elected: Student Ambassador Sees Strong Turnout in Mock General Election

Pupils went to the polls on Thursday 13th November to elect their new Student Ambassador representatives, completing a campaign period that featured speeches in assemblies and a system designed to replicate a real-life general election. The ballot saw the election of one representative for KS3 and one for KS4/5, providing all pupils who chose to participate with valuable experience in the democratic process, including the requirement to use identification to cast their vote.  The high engagement was noted, with a 49.4% turnout for KS3 and an impressive 59.2% for KS4/5. This electoral practice took on particular significance, given the potential for 16-year-olds (our current Year 8 and above pupils) to vote in the next General Election in 2029 if proposed legislation is passed. The candidates for the KS3 role were Inaya A, Betsy G, Oliver H, Rithvik N, Ishvaa S and Isaac W. Contesting the KS4/5 position were Jasmine C, Arjun D P, Blake S and Charlie W. We extend congratulations to all candidates who participated, with Mrs. Brown, Head of Faculty for Political & Social Sciences, highlighting that it was "tough to stand in front of your peers and present," and emphasised that the candidates were "future leaders" whose participation was essential for a "democratic vote." Following the final count, Betsy G (Year 7) was announced as the new KS3 representative, having secured 160 votes. The KS4/5 seat was won by Arjun D P (Year 11), who tallied 205 votes. Both winners now begin their terms as the voice of their peers on the Student Council.
