Gold Equalities Awarded for Outstanding Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

We are proud to announce that our school has been awarded the Gold Equalities Award by EqualiTeach, a national organisation dedicated to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion in education.

This prestigious award recognises our commitment to creating an inclusive and respectful school environment, ensuring that all students feel valued and supported regardless of their background. It also awards the significant amount of work staff have completed to enrich our curriculum so that it is accessible, students see themselves reflected in their learning, and that it equips students to live in a diverse and global society.

We are particularly proud of student-led projects such as Culture Day and the work of our student leaders such as our Diversity Prefect and Bold Voices Ambassadors. They work to help us create a school culture that celebrates diversity and champions equality.

EqualiTeach describes schools that achieve the Gold Award as "standing as a beacon for others; where the positive impact of best equality and diversity practice is clearly visible." This achievement is a testament to the hard work of our students, staff, and wider school community.

Priya P, our Diversity and Inclusion Prefect, shared insights from recent student discussions: "Overall, when talking to both the student diversity council and the Year 9s, they suggested that the school does significantly well in representing different cultures, sexualities, and faiths.and will continue to make suggestions on how this can be improved further"

We look forward to continuing our efforts to make our school a place where everyone can thrive.

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.
