Provision for Our Critical Worker Students

In addition to the remote learning taking place and live lessons, staff have been supporting some students in school. We have had between 30-40 students in school each day who are children of critical workers and/or meet the DfE criteria. Students have continued their learning online, but with support from staff in Learning Support or teachers. LSPs have been superb in providing expert support and care with these students. While teachers have been on hand to give further guidance.

The full curriculum is on offer, with the added benefit of being on site so students are able to access some resources in PE and Music. Mr Conway has delivered some live PE lessons in school enabling these students to take part.

Students have been studying while adhering to the guidance on staying safe in schools, for instance when using the IT facilities in the Sixth Form area. They have commented that they ‘enjoy the structure of the day’ and that ‘they are learning well with the help from teachers’ and their LSPs. Being in school has helped them maintain a sense of routine during these uncertain times.

We thank all our staff for all their efforts in supporting the students and we are pleased to be able to offer this support. With the restrictions of lockdown and safety of all in mind, we have to monitor numbers carefully; however, if your circumstances have changed and you feel your child qualifies for a place you should contact the school.

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
