Charity Football Match

Article by Jonny May and Cameron Traill

On Friday June 23rd the Year 10’s led by Jonny May and Cameron Traill organised our second charity football match to raise funds for Parkinson’s UK. It was a very successful event and a close, entertaining game of football. The two teams were evenly matched and there were some stand out moments of football - Brayden O’Connor’s first goal shocked the opposition and James O’Connor was quick to equalise, skillfull play from Charlie Kindell in the second half put the green team ahead, then Kian Patel’s impressive penalty kept the white team in the game. The penalty shoot out showed the skill of both goalkeepers, Maitham Hassanali and Ben Westcott, but there could only be one winning team!

We would like to thank everyone who was involved, with particular thanks to Amelie and Lois who ran the refreshments on the day and Aryan, Luke and Joel from Year 12 who officiated the match brilliantly.

Special thanks to Mr O’Dowd who supported us every step of the way and thank you to all members of the St Clement Danes community who came to watch the match and contributed to such a good cause.

Our Just Giving link will be open for a little bit longer if you would like to contribute. We are really proud that we have currently raised £1,180 to support the excellent work of the charity Parkinson’s UK.

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.
