Bronze and Top-5 Finish for our Students at British Rowing Championships

 

The British Rowing Championships, the pinnacle event of the rowing season, delivered an exciting weekend of competition as young athletes from across the UK showcased their skills on the water. The championships, held annually in summer, saw standout performances from local athletes, in particular, sisters Ellie H and Hettie H, who had standout performances in their age categories.

On the opening day, Ellie H and her partner, Eve took part in the highly anticipated WJ16 Pairs event. After a day of intense racing, the pair earned a spot in the A final, where they clinched a fantastic bronze medal. They finished behind two strong crews, including one that travelled all the way from Gibraltar, making their podium finish even more impressive.

Just two days later, attention shifted to the WJ14 Quads, where Hettie and her crew faced a fiercely competitive field of over 40 teams. The quad raced through the rounds, eventually securing a place in the A final. In a race dominated by a crew from Scotland, Hettie's team achieved a commendable fifth place, finishing ahead of their local rivals Henley, who came in sixth.

The British Rowing Championships once again highlighted the strength of young talent at St Clement Danes. Well done to Eve and Hettie for their hard work and determination.

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.
