Fashion and Textiles students recognised at UK Young Fashion Designer Awards 2020!

We are thrilled to announce that two of our Year 13 Fashion and Textiles students have been awarded places in the Young Fashion Designer UK 2020 competition. Lydia Artimati and Nell Heys were both selected by the judges for their creative designs and visual presentations. The judges commented on the comprehensive and opulent presentation of the work submitted, which included a body of research and designs drawn with skill and passion. 

Established in 2010, Young Fashion Designer UK is an exciting national competition which focuses on enhancing the talent of students to showcase and promote the exceptional work achieved at GCSE, A-Level and by students aged 11-14 studying textiles design, product design and fashion throughout the United Kingdom. The competition is run by centres in the South and Midlands which are each committed to providing a platform for young fashion designers.

After a decade of running the competition, students were invited to celebrate a 'Decade of Design'. The students were asked to select a decade and to design a capsule collection inspired by the chosen decade. 

Lydia was placed third in the competition and took inspiration from the 1910's, to create her Paul Poiret inspired capsule. Nell was highly commended for her capsule inspired by Mary Quant and from the 1960's.  

Head of Textiles, Miss Georgiou, was delighted to share news of the students' success. We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate both girls on their achievements and wish them all the very best with their future endeavours.

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.
