Celebrating European Day of Languages 

On 26th September, students and staff at St Clement Danes came together to celebrate the European Day of Languages, engaging in a variety of activities. The event was a vibrant celebration, encouraging the school community to explore and appreciate the value of different languages and cultures.

One of the day’s highlights was a cross-curricular challenge that saw students explore languages in creative and innovative ways. Quizzes tested their knowledge of European languages, sparking friendly competition and fostering a deeper interest in linguistic diversity. Students also submitted some superb entries in the European Day of Languages Poster competition illustrating the theme of Languages for Peace and these have been sent off to the European Centre for Modern Languages.

Year 7 students added a sweet touch to the day by baking cakes, which they generously donated to visitors at the MFL faculty on Open Day. In exchange for small charitable donations, guests were treated to the students' culinary creations. The atmosphere was filled with enthusiasm and excitement, and the cakes were a hit. While it was difficult to choose a winner, prizes were eventually awarded to Nina R for her Hungarian cake and biscuits, Ibrahim H for his round cake with decorations, Hannah K-A for her German Lebkuchen biscuits and Annabella W for her M&M flag Duolingo cakes. 

The European Day of Languages at St Clement Danes showcased the school community’s enthusiasm for promoting cultural understanding.

Sporting Success: A Season of Triumphs for the PE Faculty

It has been an exceptional start to the year for our sports teams, with pupils across Year 7 and Year 11 delivering outstanding performances on the pitch, the court and the track. Here is a roundup of the latest results from the PE Faculty. Football Successes: The Year 11 Boys football team produced a fantastic display to reach the U16 County Cup Quarter Finals. While all 15 squad members contributed superbly to the team effort, special mention must go to Frankie and Myles, who were named Players of the Match after scoring two spectacular long range strikes. Ollie and Sammy also found the net to complete the scoring. Meanwhile, the Year 7B team showed true grit in wet conditions to secure their second win in the district league against CDS. A great goal from David and a composure-filled penalty from Player of the Match, Zak, secured the victory.  Athletics Achievements: Our Year 7 Athletics teams have seen their dedication pay off after training hard on Thursdays throughout the term. At the TR&W SSP Indoor Athletic Meeting, the Girls’ team took home a brilliant 1st place, while the Boys’ team finished a strong 3rd. We also have a massive individual achievement to celebrate. Theo (Year 7) has been crowned the U13 South of England Shot Put Champion at the Lee Valley Indoor Track. In what was his first-ever indoor competition, Theo smashed his personal best by 50cm. He also showed great pace on the track, reaching the semi-finals of the U13 60m sprint and missing out on the final by a heartbreaking 0.06 seconds. Basketball Season Opener: The basketball season got off to a super start with a thrilling game against Rickmansworth School. In a contest between two evenly matched sides, our team came out on top, led by a fine performance from captain Seth. Congratulations to all pupils for their hard work and sportsmanship!
