Year 10 netball success at international sports competition

Twenty Year 10 students enjoyed a successful tour to Disneyland Paris at Half Term to participate in The International Junior Netball Festival 2017. The Festival is held twice a year and combines highly competitive netball tournaments with international players' coaching master classes.

Congratulations to both the A team who came 6th in the International Cup, and to the B team, who won their Plate Competition. Well done to both teams on their success!

The Festival is organised in partnership with England Netball and is open to teams of Under 12, Under 14 and Under 16 age groups.

Year 10 student Vinita Patel said 'During this trip we made some new friends, bonded as a team, and pushed ourselves to achieve something that most of us never dreamed of doing. Best of all we got to have the full Disneyland Experience. Thank you to all the students who came and made this the best possible trip it could have been, and special thanks to Miss Welford and Miss Court for organising it.'

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.
