Design Museum Trip

The Product Design Department organised a trip to the Design Museum on the 12th January 2023 as part of a location study for their practice Non Examination Assessment (Coursework). To provide focus and improve pupil engagement we linked the project to a nationally recognised competition, Design Ventura, in which pupils are challenged to design a sustainable and entertaining product to sell in the Design Museum Shop. This experience intended to support the pupils with the research section of their project which they will later rely on to develop their final design and prototype.

When we arrived we split into groups of six and rotated around the two Gallery shops for students to see the variety of items sold for inspiration and awareness. A free exhibition showcasing the artist and designer Yinka Ilori's work was also available for students to view. His display celebrates a unique mix of cultural influences and unpacks the ingredients of a diasporic visual language.

After lunch we ended the day with another exhibition open to visitors called Designer Maker User, which takes the students through a series of real product development (e.g. development of the iPhone, iMac, chairs, kitchens etc), production techniques and market push where market demand has driven innovation.

Students found the trip extremely useful and were able to refer back and apply their experience to their lessons.

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
