Carol Service at St Clement Danes

The Christmas festivities began tonight at St Clement Danes as the annual Carol Service took place. A capacity audience enjoyed a range of performances, both musical and dramatic - and sometimes both - and sang carols accompanied by the First Orchestra. As ever, the standards were high, and stand out performances were too numerous to mention. The school was delighted to be joined by performers and parents from Croxley Danes School the first time and to welcome Terence Russoff, Curate of Christchurch, who gave an address and led prayers. A collection in aid of the Sixth Form Charities was made at the end of the evening – a fitting start to Charities Week which is now just around the corner. Many thanks to all the Sixth Formers who led ensembles, to the Drama Department, the peripatetic staff and to Miss Stevens and Mr Butterfield for putting on yet another fantastic concert. We look forward now to Grease, our next Creative Arts production, which takes place from 28th February to 2nd March.

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.
