ESFA Success for Year 9 Boys

We would like to congratulate our Year 9 boys after a fine season, reaching the last 8 of the National Cup and the sem-finals of the County Cup.

The Year 9s produced one of the finest runs in the National Football competition the school has ever seen with 7 wins, falling at the 8th hurdle with defeat to a very strong Cleeve School in Cheltenham.

The boys have shown great effort and resilience with 4 victories coming from goals down, 4 of which came from winners in the last minute! Including a win over last year's National Champions, Shenfield High.

Their County Cup run included wins over Hemel, Haileybury Turnford, John Henry Newman, Freman College.

The squad has been Tommy F, Jack M, Tommy A, captain - Dylan E, Harry H, Harry L, Joseph W, Thomas W, Rory O'D, Leighton E, Myles B, James H, Sam L, Alfie Y, Ollie J & Oliver M.

We would also like to congratulate the 9B team who have also played so well competing against some A teams in the District League competition. Finally a huge thanks to Mr Garvey and Mr Brown for their support this year for all these boys.

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.
