Commedia Dell Arte Mask Winners announced!

Year 7 drama students have been studying the history of pantomime during the autumn term. As part of this study, the students have been involved in an ongoing homework project about the Commedia dell'Arte.  This was a form of professional theatre originating from Italy that was popular in Europe from the 16th to the 18th century.It was characterised by masked "types" which the  the students have been recreating as part of their project. The students subsequently displayed the masks which were viewed and judged by students and staff who awarded them points as part of the competition.

 

Well done to form group winners,Lauren (Essex),Yolanda (Lincoln), Anna (Exeter), Max (Dane), Stuart (Clement), Grace (Burleigh), Amelie, (Clare) and Hugh (Temple).

 

Congratulations to Temple, who were the overall winning form, and well done to all the students who contributed  to this competition.

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.
