St Clement Danes School achieves 'Outstanding School' in National Textiles competition

St Clement Danes School recently achieved the status of 'Outstanding School' in a National Textiles competition.

The school received this award as a result of the Head of the Technology Faculty, Mrs Firth, submitting 11 entries from students. These were all judged to be of a consistently good standard (including a 'Highly Commended’ and a ‘Merit’ award). The brief was to design a product with a clear function for a specific target market with the additional challenge that it had to fit into a small tin.The judges commented that all of the products were very different from each other, and many were unusual and challenging.

Individual prizes were awarded to Year 10 student Elena Rossetti, who was highly commended, and Louisa Grieco, who achieved a merit award.

Congratulations to the award winning students and to the Technology Faculty on this success!

Sporting Success: A Season of Triumphs for the PE Faculty

It has been an exceptional start to the year for our sports teams, with pupils across Year 7 and Year 11 delivering outstanding performances on the pitch, the court and the track. Here is a roundup of the latest results from the PE Faculty. Football Successes: The Year 11 Boys football team produced a fantastic display to reach the U16 County Cup Quarter Finals. While all 15 squad members contributed superbly to the team effort, special mention must go to Frankie and Myles, who were named Players of the Match after scoring two spectacular long range strikes. Ollie and Sammy also found the net to complete the scoring. Meanwhile, the Year 7B team showed true grit in wet conditions to secure their second win in the district league against CDS. A great goal from David and a composure-filled penalty from Player of the Match, Zak, secured the victory.  Athletics Achievements: Our Year 7 Athletics teams have seen their dedication pay off after training hard on Thursdays throughout the term. At the TR&W SSP Indoor Athletic Meeting, the Girls’ team took home a brilliant 1st place, while the Boys’ team finished a strong 3rd. We also have a massive individual achievement to celebrate. Theo (Year 7) has been crowned the U13 South of England Shot Put Champion at the Lee Valley Indoor Track. In what was his first-ever indoor competition, Theo smashed his personal best by 50cm. He also showed great pace on the track, reaching the semi-finals of the U13 60m sprint and missing out on the final by a heartbreaking 0.06 seconds. Basketball Season Opener: The basketball season got off to a super start with a thrilling game against Rickmansworth School. In a contest between two evenly matched sides, our team came out on top, led by a fine performance from captain Seth. Congratulations to all pupils for their hard work and sportsmanship!
