Year 8 Mathematicians success in Junior Maths Challenge!

Another great result has been achieved by eighty one Year 8 mathematicians who entered the remotely held  UK Junior Maths Challenge.

 

Maths Teacher Mrs White organised the students' participation in the national challenge and is delighted to share the  great news that over two thirds of the students were awarded a Gold, Silver or Bronze certificate! This is particularly impressive as only forty percent of the top scoring UK performers in the Junior Maths Challenge are awarded with the Bronze, Silver and Gold certificates in the ratio 3:2:1.

 

16 Gold certificates

17 Silver certificates

21 Bronze certificates

 

Well done to all Year 8 students who took part in the challenge - a great effort  culminating in a fantastic set of results!

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.
