Students awarded Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award certificates

Year 10 students were presented with their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh certificates and badges in assembly today, as a result of completing their expeditions last year. One hundred and ninety seven students have achieved their Bronze awards - a record number at Âé¶¹Ö±²¥!

The school supports a large number of students who are engaged in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. At present there are cohorts of 139, 57 and 19 students, who, respectively, are working towards their Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards.

Four students have recently achieved their Gold Awards, two of whom will be attending a presentation at St James Palace on 17th May, when they will be formally presented with their awards by a member of the Royal family.

Congratulations to all the students for achieving their awards. The skills and attributes that they have developed during the programme will no doubt be an invaluable asset in the future, both at school and in the workplace. Thanks are given to Duke of Edinburgh Coordinators, teaching staff Mrs Kirby and Mr Taylor, and all the staff and parents who have so generously given their time to support the students throughout the award scheme.  Well done to all involved for making this such a great success!

The programme continues to run at the school, and further information can be found below:

Celebrating our inclusion in National Top 200 Sporting schools list

We are proud to announce our inclusion in the prestigious list of the top 200 sporting schools in the country, achieving an impressive 62nd place ranking nationally. This recognition, recently highlighted by the Watford Observer, places the school among the elite educational institutions for sporting achievement in the United Kingdom. The "Top 200" list is compiled annually by School Sport Magazine, which utilises a rigorous methodology to determine the most successful schools across the nation. Unlike subjective polls, these rankings are based purely on performance in national competitions. The magazine analyses results across more than 20 different sports and over 120 different national competitions, awarding points based on how far a school progresses. Particular weight is given to reaching the final stages of prestigious national cups and championships, meaning the list serves as a direct reflection of a school’s competitive reach and its ability to succeed at the highest levels of school sport. Our climb to the 62nd spot this year is a direct result of several standout performances on the national stage across a variety of disciplines. Our Senior Girls reached the ESFA Football National Semi-Finals, showcasing incredible teamwork and skill against the best in the country. Our golfers also excelled on the national stage, finishing as National Finalists ranked number 9 in the country in the English Schools’ Team Championship. Additionally, the Inter Boys squad demonstrated exceptional talent and athleticism by qualifying for the National Track & Field Final, while the U16 Boys’ determination saw them progress deep into their season to reach the National Vase Regional Final. These milestones represent countless hours of training, immense dedication from both pupils and staff and a tenacious competitive spirit that defines the St Clement Danes community. While the school is incredibly proud of these elite achievements and our high standing in the national rankings, we recognise that these statistics only tell part of the story. Our core values are built on the belief sport extends far beyond the trophy cabinet or a leaderboard. Our focus remains firmly on participation as well as performance, ensuring our programme is inclusive, meaningful and accessible for all, not just those competing at the highest level.  Sport is for all, and whether a pupil is representing the school in a national final or discovering a lifelong passion for physical activity in a lunchtime club, our goal is to create a culture where every pupil feels empowered to stay active. We remain committed to providing a diverse range of opportunities that cater to all abilities, ensuring every pupil can enjoy the physical and mental benefits of sport.  Congratulations to all our pupil-athletes, coaches and supportive parents who have helped make this national recognition possible.
