Eager readers celebrate winning Year 7 Non-Fiction Reading Challenge

Congratulations to 7D who won the Year 7 Non-fiction Reading Challenge, for reading the widest range of non-fiction and the largest volume of books during the period of the competition. On Tuesday 22nd January, the students celebrated their win at a morning tea party in the LRC, which was hosted by librarians Mrs Gustaffson and Mrs Murray. Year 7E student Amelia was named as the winner of the competition for the individual with the most interesting fact - 'Do you know that polar bears have a powerful sense of smell. They can smell things under the ice from nearly a mile away!'. Well done to Amelia, and also to students Mariyah, Elena and Matteo who were all runners up in the competition.

Well done to 7D, and to all the students who participated in the competition with great enthusiasm. Thanks also to our librarians for organising the competition, and encouraging our students to use the facilities in our wonderful new library.

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.
