Bold Voices Workshop

On Tuesday 22nd February, Bold Voices, an organisation which tackles gender inequality, came into ¿ìèÊÓÆµ, and spoke to the Sixth Form students about gender-based violence at University. Yosh, the representative, talked about her own experiences at University as well as ways we can tackle gender-based violence that we may encounter in our later lives.

Following this, a selection of Year 12 students were given an interactive training workshop, teaching them about how gender-based violence can begin, how it can be avoided and how to teach and inspire the Year 7 students.

The next day, on the 23rd, the Year 7 students had their own workshops where they learnt about stereotypes, attitudes, structures, and experiences all relating to gender-based violence. They all had a great time chatting and thinking about the important topic. Yosh and Tash, as well as members of staff, and Year 12 students, walked around the groups helping with the tasks, encouraging the conversations and answering any questions that were asked.

Overall, everyone had a really good time and learnt a lot! If you are interested in learning more about Bold Voices, their website is linked below. Also keep a look out for more school events run by the SCD Bold Voices Ambassadors

The programme at SCD for Bold Voices is organised by Faye Ramsbottom, Associate Assistant Headteacher, and both her and Mr Seabrook supported the workshops and talks as teacher ambassadors.

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.
