Athletes' Success at County Athletics Track and Field Event

Well done to year 7,8 and 9 students on their success at the Hertfordshire County Athletics Track and Field Championships, which was held at Jarman Park, Hemel Hempstead, on Saturday 9th June. Congratulations to Toby (Year 9), who achieved first place in discus (and automatic selection for entry to the National Finals) and also to Nick (Year 9) who won 1st place in the 200 metres and 3rd place in the 100 metres events. Year 7 student Roraigh won 1st place in the Javelin and broke the County Record. His throw of 36.57m means he is currently ranked 5th in the country. Runners up included Grace (Year 9) in the 800 metres race and Scarlett (Year 8) who competed in the hurdles. This is a fantastic achievement and the first time the school had three teams qualify for the highest calibre regional final in the country. It was also the first time in twelve years that the Years 9 and 10 Boys' team had been selected for the Track & Field A Finals.

On Tuesday 19th June the three teams attended the East Anglia Region ‘A’ Finals in Chelmsford . All  teams stepped up to the high standard of competition, which resulted in many personal best times for the athletes. The Inter Girls team finished in 11th place, the Inter Boys team finished in 10th place, and the Junior Boys team achieved ninth place, only just missing out on the National Finals!

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.
