Gym and Dance Display 'Project:Diversity' 2022

Congratulations to nearly two hundred students who took part in the annual Gym and Dance Display, which was recorded in the Barbirolli Hall on Monday 21st February.

The students performed pieces including Trampette work, Floor gymnastics, Contemporary dance, Tap dance and Modern dance. This year we themed the show to highlight diversity within the world. We made a decision to explore these elements by recognising, respecting and valuing difference. An example of a few areas explored are disability, LGBTQ+, Culture and Mental Health. 

PE teacher and Gym and Dance Display Organiser Miss Tucker said: ‘The students have worked extremely hard in very difficult circumstances. We have had a number of restrictions in place which have made it challenging this year. However, without fail the students have worked tirelessly to ensure the routines were up to the same standards as usual. The passion and commitment to bring this project alive wouldn't have been possible without the curiosity and drive from the students involved'.  

Miss Tucker extended thanks to helpers: Layla Ozcan, Yolanda Brett, Kaitlyn McHale, Jack Coleman, Lewis Patterson and Finn Bullen all of whom made an invaluable contribution towards the organisation and running of the event. The Lighting team, comprising of Carl Taylor and Thomas Kirby, were also praised for their help. 

A huge thank you to Miss Tucker too, for her work in putting this event together and enthusing the students to produce such thoughtful and creative pieces.

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
