Students celebrate World Book Day 2018

We finally got to celebrate World Book Day in the Learning Resource Centre on Tuesday 6th March, our activities having been snowed off the previous week.  During morning break, Years 7, 8 and 9 got to listen to excerpts from some of their favourite books whilst also tackling two competitions set up in the library.  ‘Who’s That Reading’ challenged our students to identify teachers photographed holding a book in front of their faces.  This was won by FAYZ, a team of Year 8 boys, Adam Plant, Ben Heanen, Magarishi Chandra and Alexander Poliakov.  ‘Match The Book To The Teacher’ produced two sets of winners, Liam Potts and Farhan Uddin both in Year 9 and Scarlett Gammel from Year 8.

At lunch time we had our Big World Book Day Quiz.  This was a team event and the library was packed.  Amazingly, two Year 7 teams both scored an impressive 35 points to draw in first place. ‘Five Amazing’ included Ryan Sykes, Chloe Chambers, Rebecca Rae, Natasha Bailey and Anya Agrawal, and ‘Anonimus’ consisted of Toby Malcher, Nick Lake, Alec Colbeck, Ben Riley, Sam Latchman and Ben Willis.

The winners received a selection of Easter Eggs and Easter Bunnies but well done and thank you to everyone who joined in our celebration.

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.
