麻豆视频 re-accredited as 'World Class'

We are delighted that the school has been re-accredited as 'World Class,' by World Class Schools. Our thanks to all involved, particularly Mrs Kirby, who collected evidence and our sixth form prefect team in Year 13. Students had to demonstrate skills including: students are dedicated to lifelong learning, can lead, contribute to the community, are committed to self-improvement and continuous challenge and have a high awareness of different careers and fields open to them. They also had to demonstrate their understanding and knowledge of literacy, technology, Science and Mathematics. 

As part of the process, students were invited to an assessment day where they had to work as a team to create a mosaic fitting of a school's motto and ethos. This was designed through collaboration with another school, carefully following a brief, and then made to a high standard. Our thanks to Mrs Fern and Mrs O'Dowd for taking these students. 

On the 6th July, Ms Doyle, Assistant Headteacher, Mrs Kirby, Associate Pastoral Leader and 6 Year 12 prefects will go to London to the World Class Symposium to receive the award and take part in a day of discussion around social media’s role in the world after hearing from professional networking and technical industry experts. 

Our huge thanks to all staff and students involved.

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.
