Franklin Scholars mentor new Year 7 students

Year 10 students had the opportunity to attend a training day last week, as part of their role in mentoring new year 7 students. The Franklin Scholars is an organisation established to help every pupil make a strong start in secondary school. The scholars are outstanding student leaders chosen to help younger students make a strong start in secondary school through peer tutoring and coaching. The school participates in the scheme under the guidance of Franklin Scholar Coordinator Miss Ramsbottom.

Representatives from Franklin Scholars attended ¿ìèÊÓÆµ on Thursday 15th September and worked with 15 Year 10 students who are mentoring Year 7 students. The scholars provide a year-round programme of support to boost, stretch and strengthen Year 7 pupils through their first year.

The school looks forward to welcoming back representatives from the organisation on their return to ¿ìèÊÓÆµ on 30th September, when they continue working with the student mentors.

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.
