Three Rivers and Watford Sports Partnership Awards success

Talented sporting youngsters were recognised on Tuesday 21st June when the Three Rivers and Watford School Sports Partnership held their annual awards ceremony at Rickmansworth’s Watersmeet Theatre.

Year 12 student Bobbi Francis won the Outstanding Student Achievement Award at Key Stage 5 and fellow Year 12 student Matthew Clissold won the Young Official of the Year Award for Key Stages 3 - 5.

Students from the partnership’s 47 schools, their relatives, friends and teachers attended the theatre for the presentations. The awards covered 11 categories, which recognised individual and team achievements, as well as pupils who had demonstrated leadership and commitment to inspire others to get involved in sport.

The awards were presented by Britain’s most successful ever gymnast, Beth Tweddle. Both students attended the ceremony with Dr Valentine, who presented an award to a winner in another category.

Well done to Bobbi and Matthew on their success and for being recognised as such fantastic ambassadors for our school.

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.
