Sixth Form invite local community to Christmas festivities at SCD

On Monday 16th December the Sixth Form Committee launched their inaugural Community Christmas event when they held a festive afternoon tea to which they invited elderly members of the Chorleywood community, including some residents from local care home, Sunrise Senior Living. The visitors enjoyed a chat and played some games with the sixth form students over mince pies and a cup of tea.

The idea for the event originally arose from a recent Cadbury campaign when the company joined forces with Age UK to address loneliness among older people. The sixth formers considered ways in which the school could build closer links with the local community, including getting to know some of the local elderly residents.

We hope that this event will strengthen our ties with our local community. Our visitors commented on how much they had enjoyed visiting the school and meeting our students during the festive season. We look forward to hosting similar events in the future, and to invite members of our local community to share some Christmas cheer with our students.

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.
