Following the Ofsted inspection on 26 and 27 March 2024 His Majesty’s Inspectors found St Clement Danes to be an ‘Outstanding’ school, retaining the grading awarded at the last inspection in 2011. They went on to praise the school and award ‘Outstanding’ judgements for each of the five areas they looked at: Quality of education; Behaviour and attitudes; Sixth-form provision; Personal development and Leadership and management.

The inspectors recognised that:

Pupils are highly respectful of one another…Behaviour in lessons and around the school is exceptionally good. Pupils know how their behaviour can influence others. As a result, they choose to hold themselves to the highest standards of conduct. 

Our aim as a school has always been to enable every one of our students to grow into responsible and fulfilled adults with the skills, qualifications and confidence to shape their futures. This was recognised by the inspectors:

The school has placed equal value on developing pupils’ character alongside subject expertise. Not constrained by the limits of exam requirements, the result is a highly ambitious curriculum. Pupils can develop a rich and deep understanding of the world around them.

Staff, students, parents and groups that support the school live and breathe the school’s vision for all students to succeed and develop their character in a kind and caring environment. The report from the inspection team testifies to the realisation of that vision:

“Pupils thrive in a school where they feel valued, safe and happy. Careful thought has been put into what knowledge pupils need to be successful leaders of the future. All pupils are treated with the same level of kindness and dignity. Pupils take on responsibility with fervour and with the extensive support they receive around future steps they are extremely well prepared as they move on beyond the school.

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.
