    A Level Psychology Trip to ZSL London Zoo


    Our A Level Psychology students recently took part in an engaging and thought-provoking trip to ZSL London Zoo. This visit provided a unique opportunity to explore key psychological concepts in a real-world setting, including behavioural learning theories, and ethical considerations in animal research and conservation.

    During the visit, students were tasked with applying their psychological knowledge to observe and analyse animal behaviour. They selected an animal and completed a structured activity which asked them to consider the species' characteristics, behavioural patterns, and the potential psychological explanations behind them. This task was completed using an online form and encouraged students to think critically, link theory to practice, and reflect on the role of psychology in ¿ìèÊÓÆµing both human and animal behaviour.

    The students showed great enthusiasm and maturity throughout the day, engaging thoughtfully with the exhibits and discussions. We’re proud of how they represented the school and look forward to building on this experience in future lessons.

    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.
