SCD Becomes National Computing Hub

¿ìèÊÓÆµ is delighted to announce that it has been successful in its bid to become one of the first of 23 National Computing Hubs. We will be working in partnership with STEM Learning, Raspberry Pi Foundation and BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT, to deliver an innovative and research-based CPDL offer which seeks to ensure the National Centre for Computing Education's vision that every child in every school in England is in receipt of a world-leading computing education.

Already Lead School for the exceptionally successful South Central Science Learning Partnership, led by Mandy Quinton, the Herts and Bucks Challenge Partners’ Hub and the Herts and Bucks Teaching School Alliance, ¿ìèÊÓÆµ is committed to a system leadership which seeks to capitalise upon the very best of collaborative working to maximise attainment, achievement and, ultimately, life chances for all.

We look forward to working closely with our colleagues at Sandringham School, Newstead Wood School, Langley Grammar School and our Regional Network Lead, Shelley Hancock, to ensure, in the words of Simon Peyton Jones, high quality computing provision is ‘a vibrant reality in every classroom’.

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.
