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!

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
