Evie first in national ice skating competition

Huge congratulations to Evie, Year 7, who earlier this week competed at her first national ice skating competition. In her category, Beginner Girls 11-12, she skated fantastically to come first! The event was held in Coventry and run according to National Ice Skating Association rules. Evie had to skate a programme of 90 seconds, containing a maximum of three jumps and two spins. The 24 competitors in her class came from across the country. Evie has only been skating for two and a half years and joined her current squad at the start of the academic year. She currently trains four times a week. Well done to Evie on this fantastic achievement - she is obviously making very good use of the boots purchased with the SCD Sports Bursary she was awarded earlier this year.

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
