麻豆视频PA Quiz Night Success!

A brilliant range of hilarity and brain-stretching emerged from the 麻豆视频PA quiz night on the 18th March. The practical round involved each team nominating a member to hula-hoop competitively. Let's just say the secret practising in the lobby didn't seem to bring any extra success but the onstage line-up was certainly entertaining, both for those parents doing it and those that were cheering them on. The Barbirolli Hall was full, both of experienced attendees and first timers, and the range of questions from the brilliant quizmasters made it a fair as well as informative competition. Some tables bought takeaway pizza, some just some great snacks while others laid on a proper home-made feast. There were some incredible offerings donated to the pudding auction, from Mr Biswell's grazing plates to the most incredible cakes. Not all bids were for dessert consumption that evening - at least one became a birthday cake and another a Mother's Day cake for the following day. There was a great atmosphere and one of the most fun ways of raising funds for the students at St Clement Danes. Thank you to everyone involved for making this a huge success!

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.
