Remembrance Day 2020

Remembrance Day was commemorated in the school courtyard this morning, when a small number of attendees from the school community were able to pay their respects at the school’s Remembrance Service. The service was led by the Reverend David Hall from Christ Church, Chorleywood, with Headteacher Mr Sutherland and a small number of staff members in attendance at the poignant service.

Wreaths were laid at the school's memorial by the Head Boy and Head Girl, Louis Ertl and Vinita Patel. A two-minute silence was held at 11am and the Last Post was expertly played by Year 10 student Shiv Khanna.

Despite this year's service being different as a result of COVID19, it was nevertheless a moving service. The reflective mood was shared with our students who participated in a Remembrance Assembly at the start of the school day led by Assistant Headteacher Mr Harris. Students also observed the two-minute silence at 11am.

Many thanks to the Reverend David Hall and to Assistant Headteacher Mr Garvey for respectively leading and organising the service.

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.
