Carnegie Group Visit Globe Theatre and Waterstones in Piccadilly

On Friday 13th December sixteen Year 8 and Year 9 Carnegie Panel students, who shadowed the Carnegie Medal Competition last year, travelled to London for a guided tour of the Globe Exhibition at the Globe Theatre. The panel then visited the Piccadilly branch of Waterstones store to choose a selection of books for the Learning Resources Centre at Âé¶¹Ö±²¥.  Trip Leader Miss Laporta reported that the students had thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Please see the comments below that the students made following their trip;

“I loved going to Waterstones and picking out new books for the LRC. I also liked reading different books I wouldn’t normally read.”

“I enjoyed going to the club and being able to give my opinion without being judged.”

Year 9 student Rebecca said, “My favourite book was “Long Way Down”. I liked it because it was in the form of a poem. I would recommend Carnegie as it introduces different types of books which you haven’t read before. My favourite part of the trip was a tour around the Globe which was really interesting and captivating. I also really enjoyed going to Waterstones as I saw many books that I had not seen before.”

“At Carnegie I really loved reading “Bone Talk” and “The Land of Never Endings” because they filled my imagination with all sorts of colourful pictures. It was amazing to learn all about the Globe Theatre and hear all the funny things that went on behind the scenes. I have loved Carnegie and would recommend it to everyone.”

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.
