Provision for Our Critical Worker Students

In addition to the remote learning taking place and live lessons, staff have been supporting some students in school. We have had between 30-40 students in school each day who are children of critical workers and/or meet the DfE criteria. Students have continued their learning online, but with support from staff in Learning Support or teachers. LSPs have been superb in providing expert support and care with these students. While teachers have been on hand to give further guidance. 

The full curriculum is on offer, with the added benefit of being on site so students are able to access some resources in PE and Music. Mr Conway has delivered some live PE lessons in school enabling these students to take part.  

Students have been studying while adhering to the guidance on staying safe in schools, for instance when using the IT facilities in the Sixth Form area. They have commented that they ‘enjoy the structure of the day’ and that ‘they are learning well with the help from teachers’ and their LSPs. Being in school has helped them maintain a sense of routine during these uncertain times.  

We thank all our staff for all their efforts in supporting the students and we are pleased to be able to offer this support. With the restrictions of lockdown and safety of all in mind, we have to monitor numbers carefully; however, if your circumstances have changed and you feel your child qualifies for a place you should contact the school.

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.
