Commemoration Day 2022

With much delight we held our annual Commemoration Day on Friday, 18th of November. Students in Years 7, 11, along with the Year 13 prefects were in attendance at the service which took place at St Clement Danes Church in The Strand. The remaining students were able to watch the live streamed service at school.

The service commemorates the founding of ¿ìèÊÓÆµ in 1862. The day of the service is a Friday close to the 23rd November, being the day of St. Clement, Patron Saint of Mariners.

The service was conducted by the Resident Chaplain, Reverend Mark Perry, and the speakers’ address given by Mr Nick Daymond, Education Consultant. The Processional Cross was carried by Head Boy Marcus Ashby and the Acolyte Torches by Atharva Sahay and Alice Hall.

A particular thank you to Miss Stevens, Mr Butterfield, Miss Smart, for their hard work and input in ensuring the morning was a huge success and Miss Ryan and Ms Cremins for their organisation of the day. A very special thank you to our talented students in the Commemoration Orchestra and Choir who gave spectacular performances.

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.
