Frantic Assembly Workshop held for Drama students

On Wednesday 21st November, twenty six students from Years 10, 11 and 12 attended a ‘Frantic Assembly’ workshop which was held in the Drama Hall. The exciting and contemporary company is world renowned and works with young people, teachers and artists. The students had a great experience working with the specialist practitioners, giving them an insight into how a professional company creates new material. 

This event was followed by another drama event today, when A level students held a pop up Performance Art in the new corridor area. One of the performances was based on 'Women's lack of voice in society' with female students’ mouths being symbolically taped up. This was designed to make audiences think about this subject.  Mrs Ingleby, Subject Leader of Drama, commented, 'the response from the school student community was fabulous! The students had lots of questions, and many of them got involved by adding make-up to the performers’ faces!’ As a consequence of this pop up performance, staff in the Learning Resources Centre have created a display with books pertaining to women’s rights and Year 10 drama students have just shaped their devised work in response to what they saw at the pop up performance.

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.
