    Drama News!

    Performing Arts Teacher Mrs May reported on recent news from the drama department;

    We have had a very busy few months in the Drama department.  In November our Year 11 students performed their devised pieces – over two evenings the students performed a range of thought-provoking pieces challenging their audience to think about a range of issues including poverty, feminism, bullying and austerity.  The end result was an accomplished evening of powerful theatre.

    In December, A Level student were treated to modern interpretation of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ performed by the National Youth Theatre.  Innovative set designs and strong performances led to an entertaining afternoon of theatre (and some inspiration for the Drama teachers!)

    In January we were very excited to welcome Savannah Madden to our LAMDA team – she is working alongside Sarah Golding to provide students with high quality LAMDA teaching.

    In January, we had the privilege of seeing Joe O’Gorman (Old Dane) make his professional debut in a new production of ‘Tom Brown’s School Days’ at the Union Theatre in Southwark.  Joe played the part of Lofty in this moving production – he was outstanding; capturing the character’s vulnerability and humour and made his drama teachers very, very proud!

    In January, Year 10 GCSE students enjoyed a performance of ‘DNA’ – it was great to see their set text bought to life by a touring company and the Q&A session allowed us to 快猫视频 directorial decisions in more depth.

    Rehearsals are under way for Whole School Production of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ taking place in July . . .. more details to follow!

    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.
