Athletes' Success at County Athletics Track and Field Event

Well done to year 7,8 and 9 students on their success at the Hertfordshire County Athletics Track and Field Championships, which was held at Jarman Park, Hemel Hempstead, on Saturday 9th June. Congratulations to Toby (Year 9), who achieved first place in discus (and automatic selection for entry to the National Finals) and also to Nick (Year 9) who won 1st place in the 200 metres and 3rd place in the 100 metres events. Year 7 student Roraigh won 1st place in the Javelin and broke the County Record. His throw of 36.57m means he is currently ranked 5th in the country. Runners up included Grace (Year 9) in the 800 metres race and Scarlett (Year 8) who competed in the hurdles. This is a fantastic achievement and the first time the school had three teams qualify for the highest calibre regional final in the country. It was also the first time in twelve years that the Years 9 and 10 Boys' team had been selected for the Track & Field A Finals.

On Tuesday 19th June the three teams attended the East Anglia Region ‘A’ Finals in Chelmsford . All  teams stepped up to the high standard of competition, which resulted in many personal best times for the athletes. The Inter Girls team finished in 11th place, the Inter Boys team finished in 10th place, and the Junior Boys team achieved ninth place, only just missing out on the National Finals!

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.
