Deliveroo engineers code with Computer Science students

On Thursday 12th December Computer Science students were lucky enough to have 9 software engineers (including ex 麻豆视频 student Jennie Quinton) visit the school from food delivery company Deliveroo. The engineers visited the school to give a fantastic coding experience for all the Year 10 and Year 12 Computer Science students. The students were given a quick introduction, then began coding in Java Script, HTML and CSS (3 different languages). The target for the coding was to be able to program some drones brought in by Deliveroo and allow the students to fly them around in the sports hall. All 40 students achieved this task with several groups completing every task set by the Deliveroo engineers. This was a great opportunity to truly realise the link between coding in the digital world, and its effect in the real world.

The students experienced a huge sense of pride and achievement for what they had managed to create in just one day, and took part in an awards ceremony to mark the occasion. The team from Deliveroo left with our fullest appreciation and a need for a rest after an action-packed day! We hope that they will come back again next year!

Mr Carl Taylor (Subject Leader Computing)

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.
