Lanzarote Training Camp 2025

 

During the first week of the Easter holidays, from 3rd - 10th April 2025, a group of dedicated student-athletes travelled to Club La Santa in Lanzarote for an intensive Warm Weather Training Camp, led and supported by our committed PE staff, to whom we extend our sincere thanks.

The primary focus of the trip was athletics, with students working hard to prepare for the upcoming 2025 Regional and National Finals. Warm weather training offers unique advantages, including improved conditions that allow for longer, more effective sessions - and often, a more enjoyable experience overall.

Training took place twice daily and included both fitness and technical work, with particular attention paid to field events. Sessions were held on a professional six-lane 400m track, and students were inspired by the chance to train in an environment that has previously hosted Olympic and World Champions.

The week concluded with a team pentathlon, where students put their hard work into practice in a friendly but competitive setting, showcasing the skills and progress they had developed over the course of the camp.

Beyond athletics, students also made the most of Club La Santa’s world-class facilities, which include a heated Olympic-sized swimming pool, a leisure pool, tennis and basketball courts, a 5-a-side football pitch, and a fully equipped fitness room. These extras provided the perfect balance between focused training and recreational fun.

Well done to all students for their dedication, and once again, thank you to the PE staff for organising such a rewarding and enriching experience.

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
