Charities Week 2020

Our Sixth Form Prefects organised the annual, and very exciting, Charities week this month. The money raised this year will go to the following two worthwhile causes, Playskill UK and Parkinson’s UK – West Herts Branch .

Playskill is a specialist group for parents and carers who have children with special physical needs. Parkinson’s UK funds research into this devastating neurological disorder whilst offering help and support to those who suffer from the disease and that to their families and carers.

Each Year group was allocated a particular day to ensure social bubbles were maintained and on their chosen day students were allowed to come in to school in their own clothes, with a pre-ordered and pre-packaged box of sweets and treats delivered to their form rooms. Students were able to choose the activities they wanted to do in each lesson, which has become fondly referred to as a ‘Kidnapped lesson’, such as watching a DVD or participation in a classroom quiz being two popular events.

All of these activities had been planned carefully to ensure that they are compliant with covid-19 health and safety guidelines.

Thank you to all our Sixth Form Prefects for helping to organise Charities week, and to everyone who supported it, whether that be through donations or their time and help. Finally, a huge thank you to all our teaching staff for allowing their lessons to be ‘kidnapped’ for such worthwhile causes. 

A copy of their assembly informing the students about the charities they were raising money for, is included 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.
