Aoife Tours with the London’s Children Ballet

Aoife Phelan, a Year 10 student, had the opportunity to tour with the London Children's Ballet earlier this month. From 600 auditions over two rounds, only 80 children were chosen to form the main company or one of the three touring companies of 2022. 

As a member of London Children's Ballet touring company, Aoife was one of ten Ballet dancers chosen to take a reduced version of 'The Little Princess' into SEN schools and Care homes across London as part of their outreach programme. Over 5 days, they did 12 performances to areas of the community that may never have seen Ballet before or who are unable to leave their care homes. They witnessed signs of joy from some children who have difficulty communicating as well as visiting the elderly who have not had much interaction with the outside world in the past two years due to Covid. 

Aoife had an amazing week being able to take her passion into the community and was a great experience vocationally as she wishes to pursue a career in performing arts. This is the last year she would have been able to audition due to the age restriction of 15.

Well done Aoife on an outstanding week and we look forward to hearing more on your successes in the future!

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
