    Easter concert

    On the 26th March St Clement Danes School were delighted to hold their annual Easter Concert. It was an evening filled with phenomenal solo and group performances which the late Sir John Barbirolli - a former student of the school who later went on to be the conductor of the Halle Orchestra in Manchester, and after which the Barbirolli Hall is named - would have been extremely proud.

    For those students in Year 13 the evening held particular significance as it marked their last opportunity to perform in a music concert at St Clement Danes School. The contribution that these students have made over the years to the musical life and soul of the school has been truly outstanding.

    The evening started with a performance by the 2nd Orchestra, followed by solo pieces and ensemble performances from the Gospel and Junior choirs, as well as the newly formed Barbershop Choir, through to the Jazz Band.

    We like to express our gratitude to all of the staff and students involved for their continued commitment and enthusiasm to the musical life of St Clement Danes School, and in particular to the inimitable Mr Butterfield. Our thanks also go to Mrs Hobbs, Miss Flemming, Mrs Harris and the Music Prefects 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
