Drama students gain place at RADA Youth Theatre

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for Year 13 drama students Joe O’ Gorman and Evie Jordan, who have succeeded in joining the RADA Youth Company (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art). They are two of sixteen students who have been selected to attend Youth Company Saturday workshops at RADA in Gower Street, London. They were chosen from many applicants, aged between sixteen to twenty years, after attending a selection of short workshop auditions earlier this year. This is a great opportunity to be taught by prestigious RADA coaches. During the year, Joe and Evie will explore many areas including improvisation, devising methods, Alexander Technique, stage combat, text work, voice work and movement.

The course culminates at the end of the summer term with the students performing a classical play in a public performance at RADA's Jerwood Vanbrugh Theatre.

Congratulations to both students on being selected for this exciting opportunity, and we look forward to following your progress with great interest!

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
