Duke of Edinburgh: Silver Expedition May 2024

On 9th - 11th May our 64 Year 10 students took on the challenge of completing their Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award. This entailed a 3-day excursion in the Chiltern Hills. Luckily, the weather was on their side as they enjoyed the sunshine during their trek. The group were very lucky to witness a once in a lifetime experience witnessing the Northern Lights on Friday evening. The students did a fantastic job of making their own food, particularly Harry B who made us all freshly cooked bread on Friday morning. 

Well done to all of those who attended the weekend - a huge achievement that they should all be very proud of.

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.
