Year 10 Franklin Scholars provide peer group coaching for Year 7 students

Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ has, for a number of years, worked with with Franklin Scholars, a specialist company that implements high-impact peer mentoring programmes in schools, providing many benefits for students.The Franklin Scholars in Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ are outstanding student leaders who help Year 7 students through peer tutoring and mentoring. This is especially beneficial at a time when Year 7 students are making the transition from primary to secondary school.

On Thursday 22nd September, Year 10 students attended a training session led by a Franklin Scholars trainer. The training develops the students' leadership skills and helps to improve their resilience, academic attainment, attitude towards learning and empathy towards others. The Year 7 students benefit from the scheme by having a Year 10 student mentor who is a dedicated role model - someone to whom they can relate. The mentoring scheme helps to increase the younger student's self esteem and evidence shows that the scheme increases academic attainment and improves attitude towards learning and focus in class. 

On Friday 28th September, both Year 7 and Year 10 students attended an induction "Speed dating" session whereby the two year groups had an opportunity to get to know each other. Both groups commented on how enjoyable the session was and how much they are looking forward to their future mentoring sessions.

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
