Polling station open at ¿ìèÊÓÆµ!

For the first time ever, elections were held at SCD for KS3 and KS4/5 Student Ambassadors. The positions are for a 2-year term and are primarily aimed to focus on national issues being brought into school, and looking at ways the school and student body can act on them.

The idea of holding an election was to mirror a General Election, giving the students an ¿ìèÊÓÆµing of the process of casting a vote in a ballot. Prior to the election a 6-week campaign was held, during which students were encouraged to think about the importance of voting for someone to responsibly represent their views on a range of key issues.

The candidates all addressed their voters in their respective assemblies and had to attend 2 question and answer sessions, when the candidates were available for students to ask questions of them. (Hustings). At form times the students were also given information about voting and the process of voting. Election Day was held on Thursday 14th November 2019. The Polling Station was situated in the new Student Hub, and was open from 8.00am until 5.00pm.

Many congratulations to the successful candidates in the elections- Chris Shearlock in Year 8 and Will Price in Year 10. We wish them an interesting two years ahead, and look forward to hearing about their work in due course.

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.
