Alex in solo concert at local music festival

On April 5th, Year 11 student and BBC Young Musician finalist Alex Pullen will be performing a solo concert as part of the Amersham Festival of Music. Now no stranger to the big occasion, percussionist Alex is looking forward to the concert at Amersham Free Church where he will be performing pieces from his Young Musician programme. He will be using a five-octave marimba which he was able to purchase following a charity concert in Beaconsfield last year. Just before Christmas, Alex heard that he had been successful in securing the prestigious Andrew Lloyd Webber scholarship to study at Eton College in the Sixth Form. Alex is very sad to be leaving St Clement Danes, but says he could not turn down such an incredible opportunity. The fully funded scholarship is only awarded to one 'outstanding musician' each year and so Alex is ¿ìèÊÓÆµably proud to have been chosen.

Those who saw Alex performing on the BBC last year will know that the audience at this latest concert are in for a treat. Tickets, which are free for students, are available from the festival website here:

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.
