Sports Day Returns!

Year 8, 9 & 10 had their Sports Day this week after missing last year's with the pandemic. We were delighted to see the students compete so well in their house colours and to hear them getting cheered on by their house mates as well as the dulcet tones of Mr Brown calling them in. We had some fantastic performances and some great efforts from students who wouldn't normally. It was particularly special to see the Year 8s compete in their first sports day. The noise from the supporting crowd was wonderful, particularly in the close finishes and when supporting all runners of all abilities.  

We also had a superb finale to the Year 10 pentathlon where Olivia Matharu & Roraigh Browne won their respective events. This was concluded with an 800m, after the 12 boys and 11 girls had competed in 100m, Shot, Long & High Jump over the past week. It was very apt to see these two cross the line first as they are both to be awarded with Senior Athlete of the Year.  

Year winners were:

Year 8 Boys: Lincoln

Year 8 Girls: Dane

Year 9 Boys: Dane

Year 9 Girls:  Exeter

Year 10 Boys: Temple

Year 10 Girls: Clare

Current overall standings before Year 7's & 8S's event: 

1st - Exeter, 2nd - Lincoln, 3rd - Dane, 4th- Temple, 5th - Burleigh, 6th- Clare,

7th - Clement, 8th- Essex

We hope to conclude sports day with Year 8S doing their events next week & Year 7 will have their own Sports day on Tuesday afternoon.

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
