World Book Day 2023

We celebrated world book on the 2nd March with a flurry of activities ranging from online quizzes, a big book quiz, missing words and guess the book by its cover with prizes awarded for the most correct answers.

There were two themed scavenger hunts, Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, with students attempting to track down the teachers wearing the name badges of characters from the books from the clues provided.

One of the LRC's DofE volunteers, Taneesha Roy, ran a wonderful craft activity where students could create a book mark.

Other competitions over the course of the week included redesigning a Harry Potter book cover and writing a book review or reviewing a book in three emojis.

In addition we had 40 new books for students to choose from especially for World Book day, a mix of titles suitable for Years 7 and 8 and some more challenging reads for the Year 9s.

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.
