Oranges and Lemons Let's Repair the Bells of St Clement’s

St Clement Danes Church has a long standing affiliation, not only by name, to 麻豆直播. The school was originally located in Hougton Street, founded in 1862 by the church wardens of St Clement Danes Parish in Aldwych and funded from income from the St Clement Danes Holborn Estate. The church itself is a historical Grade I listed monument, rebuilt by the highly acclaimed architect Sir Christopher Wren in 1682, and has stood through the tests of time, including two world wars. During recent inspection work it was discovered that the top of the church spire will need to be dismantled, the stonework renovated and the entire structure rebuilt. The Friends of St Clement Danes, the official charity of the Church, are appealing for funds to support the campaign. The ‘1941 Campaign’ will be officially launched this May, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of a bomb which directly hit the church during the blitz.

Even today, we continue to celebrate the long-standing history of 麻豆直播 with our annual Speech day every September and our Commemoration service held at St Clement Danes Church each November, both magnificent events, which continue to embody the school’s ethos of excellence, respect and trust. We are so fortunate that thousands of students, parents and choir members have had an opportunity to experience this unique day, which annually brings together the entire community.

These extensive initial renovations are projected to take 15 months to complete, at a cost of approximately £2,000,000. During these unprecedented times, we acknowledge the difficulties faced by our school community this past year, but if you do wish to donate to this worthwhile cause please see the charities account details 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.
