Roraigh Achieves Scholarship at Watford FC

We were delighted with our Year 11 student, Roraigh Browne, who was awarded a scholarship at Watford Academy.

Roraigh is a keen sportsman and has been playing football for the past 5 years, namely in goal. He was scouted in a Saturday league game in the end of the season in Year 8. He then underwent a four week trial, which usually lasts 8 weeks but due to the interest he had generated from top clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham, Watford were keen to sign him up quickly!

Roraigh is a testament to his peers, training extensively four days a week at two hours at a time and playing matches on the weekend.

On the 13th of December Roraigh was ecstatic to have been offered a two year scholarship for Watford as well as 10 other boys at the club. The scholarship will mean he is able to study for his A-levels with private tutors as well as playing football four days a week.

Congratulations Roraigh, we really look forward to hearing more on your successes in the future!

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
