The Art of Letter Writing

Last term in English, Year 7 were studying the art of letter writing. After practicing some letter writing skills, students were tasked with writing a letter and posting it to anyone of their choice. Some students decided to write to family members, others wrote to friends and many students chose to write to their heroes. We have been delighted to learn that two students received responses from some exciting house-hold names! Lara G in 7T, received a hand-written letter from Sir David Attenborough thanking her for her environmental efforts and Jonah K in 7T, received two signed photographs from Harry Kane! It has been very exciting for the students to receive these responses and is a brilliant recognition of their hard work.

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
