MFL news

Students and staff from the Modern Foreign Language faculty have started 2017 by sending their French pen friends good wishes for the New Year!

The tradition in France is to send "Bonne Année" cards, rather than Christmas cards, and it is an opportunity for people to send others their good wishes for the New Year. Our students have followed this French tradition and have created their own cards for their French pen friends with some very original designs.

MFL are also running a competition for Year 7, in which the students have been set the task of creating a model representing an aspect of French culture. The students are required to research their project first and then create a model, preferably using recycled material from Christmas.

This is the second year the competition has been running and staff from MFL are very impressed with the students' creations. They will be faced with a very difficult task in selecting a winner after the competition deadline on Friday 13th January.

Finally, the very popular French board games club is open to all Year 7 students every Wednesday lunch time in L6. The faculty has a good selection of board games for students to use whilst practising their French in a more creative way.

Our Year 7 MFL students are certainly very busy, and we look forward to sharing more news about MFL activities across other year groups during the year.

Charities Week 2025

The halls of ¿ìèÊÓÆµ have been buzzing with holiday cheer this week as the annual Charities Week is officially in full swing. As the Autumn Term draws to a close, pupils and staff have united to raise vital funds for three incredible causes: Endometriosis UK, Spread a Smile, and Herts Young ¿ìèÊÓÆµless. The school is alive with the spirit of giving, driven by a jam packed ‘Advent’ schedule designed to get everyone involved in the fundraising efforts. This year’s itinerary has been filled with exciting activities, ranging from pupil led lessons and a "Mystery Bucket" challenge to the competitive excitement of the "Elf Auction" and various competitions. Pupils have also enjoyed the classic "Sponge the Teacher" event and a visit to Santa’s Grotto, ensuring the festive atmosphere is matched only by the community’s generosity. Beyond the classroom activities, pupils have been sharing the festive spirit with the wider community. On 18th December, the SCD Senior Choir paid a special visit to Chorleywood Manor Care ¿ìèÊÓÆµ. The residents were treated to a beautiful selection of Christmas carols, featuring performances by members of the Chamber Choir, Evensong Choir, and the Barbershop Choir. Year 12 pupils Immy and Chrissie noted that "it was a very joyful occasion and it was lovely to see the residents joining in and looking so happy." The success of such a busy week relies heavily on pupil leadership, and the school extends a massive vote of thanks to Year 13 for their incredible hard work and dedication. Their enthusiasm have been the driving force behind this week's fundraising efforts. The week is set to conclude on Friday with the Grand Finale: the highly anticipated Sixth Form Revue, promising a spectacular end to a week of community, charity and celebration.
