Bronze and Top-5 Finish for our Students at British Rowing Championships

 

The British Rowing Championships, the pinnacle event of the rowing season, delivered an exciting weekend of competition as young athletes from across the UK showcased their skills on the water. The championships, held annually in summer, saw standout performances from local athletes, in particular, sisters Ellie H and Hettie H, who had standout performances in their age categories.

On the opening day, Ellie H and her partner, Eve took part in the highly anticipated WJ16 Pairs event. After a day of intense racing, the pair earned a spot in the A final, where they clinched a fantastic bronze medal. They finished behind two strong crews, including one that travelled all the way from Gibraltar, making their podium finish even more impressive.

Just two days later, attention shifted to the WJ14 Quads, where Hettie and her crew faced a fiercely competitive field of over 40 teams. The quad raced through the rounds, eventually securing a place in the A final. In a race dominated by a crew from Scotland, Hettie's team achieved a commendable fifth place, finishing ahead of their local rivals Henley, who came in sixth.

The British Rowing Championships once again highlighted the strength of young talent at St Clement Danes. Well done to Eve and Hettie for their hard work and determination.

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.
