Scarlett wins Gold medal at England Athletics Championships!

A fantastic achievement for Year 10 student Scarlett Gammell who has won a gold medal at the recent England Athletics Age Group Indoor Athletics Championships! The championships, also known as the National Indoor Championships, was held at the English Institute of Sport (EIS) in Sheffield in February, where Scarlett won the position of the Under 17 National Indoor Champion in 60 metres hurdles.

This is a fantastic result for Scarlett, as she was competing in the Under 17 category for the first time as a Year 10 entrant, especially as this category is open to both Year 10 and Year 11 competitors. Scarlett won the final in a hugely impressive 8.74 seconds, having won the semi- final in 8.81 seconds and in her heat ran a personal best of 8.68 seconds. These results place Scarlett at the top of the UK rankings for women Under 17 competing in the 60 metres hurdles. (Please see Power of 10 web site below). 

Congratulations Scarlett - a superb achievement as a result of all your hard work! We wish you every success in your future competitions!

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.
