Exciting new gardening project starts at SCD

A gardening club for KS3 students will be starting at St Clement Danes in the spring term. Students joining the club will have an opportunity to learn about horticulture and seasonality as well as environmental and sustainability issues.

Technology teacher, Mr Biswell, who will be leading the club, said that the club will be looking into all opportunities of recycling and upcycling around the school.

The students will learn how to produce chutneys, sauces, pickles and baked goods with the vegetables they grow. These items will then be sold to raise funds, helping to make the club a sustainable initiative, whilst also teaching students enterprise skills. This process will allow students to see the full food journey from seed to plate.

The gardening area enhances the current environment and provides an educational seating area next to the new LRC for students to use.It also provides a platform for some cross curricular and STEM  teaching.

Mr Biswell expressed his thanks to SCD PA for funding this exciting initiative.

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
