Mr Taylor and Mrs Kirby were proud today to be able to present Year 11 Duke of Edinburgh participants with their Bronze certificates. Of the 88 students who went on the final expedition, all have completed their award.

The students have put in in excess of 56 hours over the three areas of Volunteering, Physical and Skills and two 2 day expeditions at Bronze and 65 hours of Volunteering, Physical and Skills as well as two 3 day expeditions at Silver.

The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a sought-after qualification which looks good on any application form and allows students to stand out from others. It gives the students a chance to show their skills in a variety of different settings. We are pleased to announce that St Clement Danes will be offering all three level of the award (Bronze, Silver and Gold) this year.

Students who wish to sign up for Silver need to be in Year 10 or 11 and in Year 12 for Gold. Year 9 parents will receive information about the Bronze award in due course.

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
