Summer Concert 2023

On the 29th of June St Clement Danes school were delighted to hold their annual Summer concert. It was lovely to see a filled Barbirolli hall with parents, friends and family in attendance to celebrate our many talented students.

The evening started with a performance by the 2nd Orchestra, followed by solo pieces and greater ensemble performances from the Gospel and Junior choirs throough to the Jazz band.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the students involved for their continued commitment and enthusiasm to the musical life of St Clement Danes. Students and staff, both worked tirelessly to make sure the event was a huge a success. The day was led and organised by Mr Butterfield and Ms Ingleby, a huge thank you to both for all their effort. Mr Butterfield stated "I am incredibly proud of all of the students who took part including the larger ensembles and the solo items. It is a privilege to witness and play a part in their musical flourishing".

We would also like to express our thanks to Miss Parker, Miss Fleming, Mrs Hobbs and Mrs Marubayashi for their contribution to this evening’s concert and the Parents’ Association for providing refreshments.

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
