Drama students see DNA and Alice's Adventure Underground in London

Drama students have been busy with two recent theatre trips to London. Year 10 students went to see the National Youth Theatre’s production of DNA at their studio theatre in North London.  This was an amazing opportunity for the students to see their set exam text bought to life.  It was a superb production which really challenged the students’ own interpretations of this dark comedy and has provided them with useful insights as they refine their own concepts.

Year 12 students braved the tube on the hottest June day in 40 years to travel to The Vaults, SE1, to see an innovative, immersive production of ‘Alice’s Adventures Underground’.  This was a unique theatrical experience as the students followed the white rabbit through the rabbit hole into the crazy world of wonderland.  Some students joined the resistance movement along with Mrs McQuoid and Mrs May (who were later tried in court for eating the Queen’s tarts).  It was a magical experience that really challenged the students’ concept of what theatre can be!

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.
