New 3G Pitch at SCD

We are delighted to announce the launch of our brand new state of the art LED floodlit 3G Artificial Grass Pitch (AGP) on site. The pitch has been a long time in the planning and we are extremely thankful to have been awarded the grant to help complete this project by the Premier League & The FA Facilities Fund (PL/FA:FF). The Anchor Fund and the St Clement Danes Parents’ Association have also pledged significant support of £20,000 and £15,000 respectively. The PA and Anchor Fund will need your continued support to realise these targets. CCYFC are the key partner club in the project and contributed £15,000 to the project. We are thrilled to provide so many local children and families such a wonderful facility in the evenings and weekends. The project would not have been possible without the considerable support of the Holborn Estate Charity. Their generosity and commitment to St Clement Danes continues to make a real and lasting difference to young people’s lives and experiences. 

The pitch will provide a fantastic teaching, training and sporting facility for our school and will also be a high quality asset to be used by local clubs and community groups during the evening, weekend and holiday periods. This is an exciting an opportunity for SCD students on their school journey, who will primarily benefit in having access to such to a high-quality playing surface.

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!
