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.

Future engineers reach new heights at Cambridge physics experience

Members of the Year 7 and 8 Science Club recently swapped the classroom for the historic halls of the University of Cambridge, taking part in the prestigious Cambridge Physics Experience. The day began with an inspiring tour of Churchill College, where pupils gained a unique insight into the architectural and academic history of the site. This was followed by an engaging presentation on university life, highlighting the long-term benefits of higher education and offering the group a glimpse into the exciting opportunities that await them in the future. The afternoon shifted from theory to practical engineering as the pupils were tasked with a series of high-stakes Martian challenges. Working in competitive teams, they were charged with designing and building model Mars Rovers capable of navigating a simulated rocky and sandy Martian terrain. In addition to the rovers, the teams had to construct landing modules engineered to survive a precarious drop from a high balcony. The competition was fierce, but it was our very own team 'Dux' that claimed the title of overall winners. Their rover outperformed the field by traveling the furthest distance across the challenging surface. Furthermore, their meticulous approach to the mass and structural integrity of their landing module paid off, resulting in a perfectly soft landing that impressed the judges. It was a fantastic day of hands-on science that showcased the ingenuity and teamwork of our junior scientists.
