Santa Fun Run

As part of Charities week Ms Clarke, Head of Year 8, organised this year’s fantastic charity Santa Fun Run which took place on Thursday 16th December.

The KS3 students, Year’s 7, 8 & 9, were asked to come to school dressed in their PE kit and Christmas fancy dress. Students and teachers then participated in a fun run around the school fields whilst listening to Christmas music. There were prizes for the best dressed.

All the money raised will go to Herts Young Homeless (HYH), a charity which supports young people and families who are homeless or may be at risk of homelessness. More information can be found at www.hyh.org.uk/ .

Students and teacher had an amazing time whilst raising for such a worthwhile cause – the pictures say it all! KS4 and KS5 will be planning other similar fund raising events after Christmas.

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
