Along with this their exceptional performance in the track and field regional competition on Monday 19th June earned them a spot in the national final at Chelmsford on Saturday 8th July. The boys scored an outstanding 514 points and will hope to improve on this when they compete again against the best in the country. This is an incredible achievement, the first time in the schools' history.

The Inter Girls (Years 9 & 10) have finished 4th making the league final.

The Junior boys have won the league by 3 points  making the league final.

The Inter boys have won the league by 20 points making the league final.

At the Herts County Track & Field Championships, our largest cohort of students competed in what was another fantastic day for them. Out of the 38 athletes competing, we had 8 winners including Nathan (U17 100m), Jack (u17 Hammer) Callum (u17 Hurdles) Noah (u13 PV) Tom (u15 PV) Scarlett (u19 hurdles) James (u17 800m) Luca (u19 800m). Plus Oscar, Isaac & Abi with English Schools standards. We are excited to report that Nathan, Callum, Tom, Isaac, Will, Scarlett, James, Oscar and Abi will be competing at the National Track & Field Cup Championships on 30th June & 1st July.

The Year 9 Girls Rounders teams were victorious at the District Rounders Tournament @ Queens School with Iris as Player of the Tournament.

The Year 9 Girls Tennis teams have competed superbly this year and have put themselves in with a chance of making the County Tennis Finals @ Queenswood on 28th June.

We have also been lucky enough to have 3 students and 1 team nominated for an Award at the Three Rivers & Watford School Sports Partnership awards. Kaitlyn M & Yolande B were nominated for KS3-5 Sports Leaders of the Year, Abi Conway for KS3 -5 Exceptional Performer and the Girls Year 8/9 Football team, the Herts County Cup champions, were Runners up in the team of the year category. It was a fantastic evening celebrating the success of sport in the partnership, including an inspirational speech from double gold-medal winning Paralympian, Danielle Brown. 


Cricket:

The Year 8 Cricket team have won 2 and lost one of their District League matches, which gives them a chance of winning the District league.

The students have been amazing this season with the Year 10 Cricket team beating Parmiter’s school to win the District league. A great achievement that has included 16 different students as part of the squad - well done to all involved!

A final thank you to all our PE faculty with the effort that has gone in to giving these students the opportunity to compete at these events and to have done so well!

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.
