Students volunteer at Epilepsy Society at Chalfont St Peter

SCD Sixth Form are very proud that several Year 13 students and Old Danes responded to a recent tweet from asking for volunteers. The help was sought by the Epilepsy Society situated at their residential centre in Chalfont St Peter.  The centre has been struggling to support their residents due to many carers being in self-isolation or having to care for young children at home. Volunteers are needed to support the residents at the centre, who are unable to self-isolate.  It is inspirational to see our young people step up to support these vulnerable individuals who need to be cared for in their residential setting in the local community. The Epilepsy Centre has emailed the Sixth Form to thank school for their support - ‘Many thanks for your support last week – we received an application from one of your ex-students within a few hours …. more interviews are lined up for today… a fantastic response!’

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.
