Year 11 Drop-Down Day

On Monday 17th October the Religious, Ethical and Philosophical studies department held a drop-down day for all Year 11 students on ‘Religion and the Workplace’.

In the morning, the students attended four talks from four religious professionals, Ron Piramide, Richard Walton, Ben Holbrook and Santhya Durg.

We invited these professionals ranging from therapists, bankers, police and counter-terrorist specialists. The professionals spoke to the students about their faith and career followed with a Q & A session.

Later in the afternoon, students were given time to reflect upon their own beliefs and values and research some careers that could be well-suited. They also researched ethical issues different career paths may face. The students came with an open mind and it was lovely to see them contribute and ask questions, with many saying they found the day extremely useful and insightful. A huge thank you to all our speakers who attended, and helped make the day such a success.

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.
