Staff Flash Mob

St Clement Danes School staff surpassed themselves in December with their annual Christmas Flash Mob. To the delight of students, assembly was taken by a stella cast dancing a number from Riverdance, with Dr Valentine performing alongside her colleagues. Rumour has it that one Deputy Head required treatment from matron having failed to warm up properly, but otherwise the cast were unscarred! This has become an annual tradition with previous highlights including last year’s Frozen dance to ‘Let it go’ and a Gangnam dance staged as part of a fictional fire practice in 2012.

This is part of a week of charity events run by the Sixth Form at the school. This year, they are trying to beat the £13000 raised last year in two days for local, national and international charities and have done a fantastic job of entertaining staff and students with numerous events throughout the week.

To see the video of this year's dance, and a couple of previous years' numbers you might have missed, follow the links below.

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
