    Rowing Success: Hettie H

    In March, Hettie H, a Year 10 student, had an extraordinarily busy week, competing in two of the biggest national rowing events for the Junior category. Hettie participated in both the Schools Head of the River and the Oarsport Junior Sculling Head.

    The Schools Head of the River involved over 300 boats time trialling a 7km course on the Thames Tideway. In her age category, Hettie’s team placed third. The very next day, Wednesday 26th March, Hettie was competing at Dorney Lake in the Oarsport Junior Sculling Head over a 2km time trial. This massive event saw over 500 crews competing from all over the UK. In one of the most competitive categories, with over 60 boats racing head to head, Hettie’s quad secured a fantastic second place, earning them a silver medal.

    Congratulations to Hettie on both remarkable achievements!

    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.
