Agents for Change

We are very proud of our Year 9 Agents for Change who worked with Equaliteach for a day’s workshop on relationships, identity, bullying and tackling prejudice. The Year 9 students volunteered to take part, representing their form groups and discussing a range of issues and ideas including racism, gender, unconscious bias and how we can support each other as a school community. Ms Giles, their head of year, supervised the students all day and was proud of their maturity and focus.

Equaliteach have worked with the school before, including with our Year 11s last year. They provide equality and diversity training for schools and businesses with a non-judgemental and engaging approach. The workshop examined the portrayal of different groups in the media, how we can fact check stories and how we construct our own identities. Their central aim is to stop identity-based bullying and create a supportive culture. 

These agents for change, will now be the KS3 ambassadors for the school and look for strategies in how they can disseminate their ideas further to their peers. They will work in conjunction with the sixth form diversity society and help lead the school forward to ensure all of our school community experience kindness and dignity.

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.
