    Celebrating Abi C’s Football Success

    Our school community is bursting with pride this week following a special feature by Arsenal Football Club on one of our own talented pupils, Abi C. Recognised in the club's prestigious "Young Gun" series, Abi has been celebrated for her remarkable decade-long journey with the Gunners, a testament to the dedication and hard work she demonstrates both on the pitch and in the classroom. Her rise from a local youngster playing in Chesham to a key figure in Arsenal’s academy is a source of immense inspiration for staff and pupils alike, proving that commitment to one’s passion can lead to extraordinary opportunities.

    In her interview with the club, Abi reflects on her ten years at Arsenal, where she has progressed through the ranks to become a striker for the under-21s. We are thrilled to read about her development, including her leadership role captaining the under-16s last season and her current ambition to break into the first team. It is particularly exciting to hear about her experiences training alongside international stars like Beth Mead and Kim Little, learning directly from the very best in the game. Her drive to improve her finishing and earn an England call-up showcases the elite mindset she brings to everything she does.

    As a school, we have watched Abi balance the demands of elite-level sport with her studies, and seeing her acknowledged on such a major platform is a proud moment for us all. We look forward to cheering her on as she takes on upcoming challenges against rivals like Chelsea and continues her pursuit of professional football stardom. We congratulate Abi on this well-deserved recognition and will continue to support her as she chases her dreams.

    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.
