Summer 2025

Welcome to the second edition of the Anchor Fund newsletter!

We remain deeply grateful for the continued generosity of many in our school community. Your contributions to the Anchor Fund play a vital role in enriching the educational experience of every student at St Clement Danes. As ever, we are committed to encouraging academic excellence, supporting our dedicated staff, and maintaining a vibrant, inspiring learning environment.

Since March we have successfully purchased resources and equipment for a number of faculties such as Science, PE, Product Design and the LRC.  

As we look ahead, we are now proud to mark a significant milestone: the 25th anniversary of the Anchor Fund. In recognition of this occasion, we will be sharing details in the coming months on how we plan to commemorate this achievement with our students and community.

Whilst there is clearly much to celebrate thanks to the Anchor Fund, we must also acknowledge a pressing concern. Unfortunately, in recent years we have seen a steady and gradual decline in monthly parental contributions with a 26% decline over the last 14 years. To continue to provide the faculties with fantastic materials and resources, we can only rely on parental help and therefore invite all members of our community to consider setting up a regular donation. Every contribution, regardless of size, has a lasting impact and directly supports the continued excellence of our school. These regular contributions are essential for supporting faculty bids, improving facilities, and offering the extracurricular and co-curricular opportunities that distinguish St Clement Danes. Your help is urgently needed.

Thank you to all of those who are already part of the Anchor Fund. We value your ongoing support.
