7 Dane announced as winners of the Year 7 Reading Challenge

The winners of the Year 7 Reading Challenge were recently announced as 7 Dane, and the winning form celebrated at form time yesterday with the librarians and their form tutor, Miss Cort. Mrs Murray and Mrs Gustafsson provided an array of cakes, biscuits, fruit and drinks to mark the students’ achievement. The winning form read 99 books between them during the second part of the autumn term, closely followed by runners up 7 Exeter.

The students read many books from a list of 30 genres of books. On completion, each student was asked to give an account of the book to the librarian, and be able to answer some questions relating to it, in order for the book to be counted towards the final total.

Congratulations to 7D on this achievement, and we hope that the students continue to enjoy reading from the diverse collection of books in the Learning Resource Centre.

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
