Inter-house Basketball

Danes Student Journalist, George Hawkins 7B reports ...

On the 14th December, Year 7 took part in an inter-house basketball competition, the second house event since they started at the school. With 5 minute halves, it was a quick-moving, tough competition. The year 7s were split into two groups - Clement, Lincoln, Essex and Burleigh in group one and Dane, Clare, Exeter and Temple in group two. There were some very competitive games in both groups, with the stars being Harry in Dane and Charlie in Clement - Michael Jordans in the making! In the last place play off, but persevering to the end, were Burleigh and Exeter. Fighting it out for 5th was Temple and Essex. The bronze place playoff was Clare and Lincoln and in the final is the classic game of Clement vs Dane. The playoffs will be held next week.

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.
