Diversity and Inclusion Society Assembly

In early December the Diversity and Inclusion Society presented an interesting assembly on how consent is portrayed in the media.  

Music and TV shows have long been influential in shaping our culture and social norms, however, this often means the depiction of consent is incorrect. Often, music, films and TV shows do not show consent in the correct way, which can influence us all in different ways which can have damaging effects on young impressionable children when it comes to topics such as safe and consensual sex as well as many other issues.  

The assembly discussed how, whilst we cannot change these harmful messages often presented within the media, the first step to creating positive change is noticing these behaviours and talking about them. 

Ultimately more conversations need to be had about consent, as the more confident people will feel to be able to call others out about unacceptable remarks or actions.

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
