A great start to the year for Year 10 Franklin Scholars mentors !

The Franklin Scholars is an organisation established to help every pupil make a strong start in secondary school. The scholars are outstanding student leaders chosen to help younger students make a strong start in secondary school through peer tutoring and coaching. The school participates in the scheme under the guidance of Franklin Scholar Coordinator Miss Sacks.

On Tuesday 17th September 15 Year 10 students attended a training day run by Franklin Scholars. Miss Sacks was inspired by the new cohort of student mentors' replies when they were asked for their reasons for joining the programme, giving their reasons as ‘because I want to give back’, ‘because my brother was both a mentee and a mentor, and I saw how much it helped him’, and ‘because I want to use my life experience to help others’.

The mentors received training in active listening, using role play to improve their skills, and how to give advice using a growth mindset.

Well done Year 10 Franklin Scholar mentors for your enthusiasm and positive attitude -  your mentees are fortunate to be working with you all!

Charities Week 2025

The halls of 快猫视频 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 快猫视频less. 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 快猫视频. 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.
