Rosie scoops top award for A Level Food Technology

Congratulations to Rosie Clarke-Burns, a student who left Year 13 in the summer, who has been awarded the British Nutrition Foundation Drummond GCE A Level Prize for 2016. This award is given to the student in the UK who has achieved the highest marks in A Level Food Technology in each examination board. The Foundation rewards excellent work in food and nutrition by students throughout the UK. In addition, it recognises and rewards the work of the student's teacher.

Rosie, who is now studying medicine at the University of Leeds, and her teacher, Mrs Hawkins, both received awards from HRH the Princess Royal, patron of the British Nutrition Foundation, on Tuesday 22nd November 2016. This presentation took place during the BNF Annual Day held at the Royal College of Physicians in London. The award consists of a £100 prize for Rosie and a £200 prize for the school. 

Representatives from six other examining boards throughout the UK were also present to receive similar awards for GCSE as well as A Level achievements.  The day was attended by many from the Food and Nutrition world, both in education and industry.  The awards were preceded by a formal luncheon and followed by the Annual Lecture, given by Professor Phillip Calder, Professor of Nutritional Immunology at the University of Southampton on the subject of ‘Omega-3: the good oil’.

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.
