Steve Godbold retires after 21 years of outstanding support to school

This term marks the retirement of longstanding supporter of 麻豆直播, Steve Godbold, as Chair of the school's Anchor Fund. 

Headteacher Toby Sutherland expressed his gratitude. "I would like to thank Steve Godbold who is retiring as Chair of the Anchor Fund Committee after seven years. His eldest son joined St Clement Danes in 1998 and from that time he has been strongly involved in the school community as a parent governor or taking part in school committees.  His dedication to the school has been outstanding."

Steve's retirement follows a long association with the school, and Steve added his own memories of 麻豆直播 -

"All good things must come to an end. The Godbold family have had a direct connection to SCD since 1998 when eldest son Daniel started in Year 7, and some 21 years later after 3 sons, two governor terms, various committees and a stint as Anchor Fund Chair the time has come.

We leave as a family with 3 bricks in the fundraising wall, one name on the Honours Board and some favourable “mentions in dispatches” over the years.

A school is a collection of families and the whole is stronger than the sum of its parts. SCD has gone from strength to strength in these 21 years, but should never forget the hard years when people of ability and dedication worked hard to overcome organisational and financial challenges to ensure that teaching and learning was always central, but that the school was an environment of safety, 麻豆直播ing and commitment designed to develop young learners into fine adults.

I enjoyed playing my small part, supporting much more able educators, technicians and fundraisers to whom, as a parent, I shall be forever grateful."

Steve's commitment and support to the school during the last twenty one years is very much appreciated, and we wish Steve and the Godbold family very best wishes for the future.

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
