Winter Market 2020 Online!

The school's Christmas Market is one of the major fundraising events of the school year, and is also an opportunity for the school community to support local businesses.

Our amazing Parents' Association have created a fantastic virtual Winter Market 2020 brochure which gives our parents and students an opportunity to support the school in a different way to last year, as a result of the global pandemic. Please click to access the brochure.

The virtual Christmas Market gives the school community a perfect opportunity to fund some unique gifts for the holiday season resulting in the improvement of facilities and resources for your children's school, as well as supporting our local businesses!

Students will also be bringing a copy of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Winter Market brochure home for you to browse at your leisure. It contains unique offers and a great selection of special gifts and services which you can order online.  

We really hope that you will support these local businesses that have supported the school by paying to advertise in the brochure: funds that come directly to buying resources for our children. 

Please forward the brochure to family and friends and encourage them to support these businesses too!

Thank you to everyone who has played a part in making this event so successful and raising much appreciated funds for the students at St Clement Danes 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.
