Celebrating the Artistic Achievements of Our GCSE and A-Level Students

 

 

On the evening of 19th June, the school community gathered to celebrate the exceptional creativity and talent of our GCSE and A-Level Art and Photography students.The evening was enjoyed by students, families and teachers who were all thrilled to see the students work on display in the Art faculty. The exhibition showcased a stunning array of works, each reflecting the unique themes explored by the students. 

Our Year 12 and 13 students showcased their explorations of "surfaces," demonstrating a keen eye for texture and detail. They also presented pieces from their personal investigations as well as their examination theme of "Observe, Seek, and Challenge," each reflecting their unique artistic visions. Meanwhile, GCSE students captivated everyone with their works centred on ‘Natural Forms and Power’ for their ESA (Exam).

Special thanks go to Mrs Giles, Mrs Jarvis, and Mrs Brenton for their hard work in curating the evening as well as their unwavering dedication to develop the exceptional abilities of our young artists.

The evening was further enriched by delicious canapés and drinks, thoughtfully provided by our talented Food Technology faculty, adding a touch of culinary delight to the artistic celebration.

It was a true pleasure to showcase the talents of our students to the wider school community, celebrating their achievements and the vibrant artistic spirit that thrives within our 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.
