World Book Day 2023

We celebrated world book on the 2nd March with a flurry of activities ranging from online quizzes, a big book quiz, missing words and guess the book by its cover with prizes awarded for the most correct answers.

There were two themed scavenger hunts, Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, with students attempting to track down the teachers wearing the name badges of characters from the books from the clues provided.

One of the LRC's DofE volunteers, Taneesha Roy, ran a wonderful craft activity where students could create a book mark.

Other competitions over the course of the week included redesigning a Harry Potter book cover and writing a book review or reviewing a book in three emojis.

In addition we had 40 new books for students to choose from especially for World Book day, a mix of titles suitable for Years 7 and 8 and some more challenging reads for the Year 9s.

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
