Year 7 Hockey Success

Danes Student Journalist, Connie O'Mahony (7D) reports ...

On Wednesday 7th March, St Clement Danes played RMS for the second time. It was a tournament, and previously we had defeated them, but now they were back, more powerful and more competitive than ever. After some minor issues with team absence, we raced to the Royal Masonic. Our school began to warm up, and within a few minutes, the court was alive. Matilda Beloou started with the ball and it was swiftly passed to Libby Carstairs. The game was evenly matched; the referees weren’t biased and there were no fouls. We were playing well, but to win (or lose) a goal had to be scored. It was the last minute, and still no one had even attempted to shoot. From where I was on the pitch, I could not see the goal very well, but to my knowledge it was passed to Eloise Murray, who dribbled to Nia Randhawa, who tapped it into the goal. Immediately the referee blew the whistle and the game was over. We had won our first match! Three more games and lots of cheering followed and we came third overall.

Teachers commended for transforming Design & Technology education

We were delighted to read that our Design and Technology teachers, Miss Yalley and Mr Hadley were featured in the Design and Technology publication.  The article discusses the transformation of the Design & Technology (D&T) department at St. Clement Danes School over the past five years. It discusses how Mr Hadley and Miss Yalley took ownership of the subject, implementing a new subject ethos based on trust, excellence, respect, and safety to foster student responsibility and independence. Key Initiatives & Changes Revamping Projects & Curriculum Introduced more challenging design projects at earlier years (Years 8 & 9). Shifted focus to design skills, problem-solving, and justifying choices over just practical outcomes. Prioritized quality over quantity in student projects. Notable projects: Year 7: Robot concepts Year 8: Articulated lamps Year 9: Branded dispensers & modular speakers Encouraging Inclusion & Diversity Created a girls-only club to boost female participation in GCSE Product Design. Sixth-form girls mentor younger students, building confidence and community. Design Ventura Competition Integrated mock coursework with the Design Ventura competition. Encouraged teamwork and prototyping to improve engagement. Use of AI & Technology Introduced cloud-based tools to make learning more accessible. Leveraged AI for idea development and communication. Professional Development & Industry Links Participating in the Teachers in Residence program to gain industry insights. Adopted industry models like the Double Diamond Design Process and Scrum-based project sprints to enhance student learning. Established workshops with industry professionals to inspire students, especially girls, to pursue design careers. Key Takeaways for Educators Adapt curriculum to student needs and school culture. Pilot new initiatives as clubs first to gauge student interest. Encourage student feedback to refine teaching methods. Be open to change and continuously evolve teaching strategies. The article ultimately encourages educators to embrace creativity, experimentation, and student collaboration in D&T education. We are very proud of our teachers for their continued hard work and dedication for each of their subject areas. Congratulations to Mr Hadley and Miss Yalley for their inspiring article and the incredible work they’ve done to transform Design & Technology at St. Clement Danes! Their dedication to fostering creativity, inclusion, and industry connections is truly commendable, and their impact on students will undoubtedly be long-lasting.
