Students' Easter training camp in Lanzarote

Staff members travelled with forty students to Club La Santa, Lanzarote on 31st March for the annual St Clement Danes Sports camp. Sports enthusiasts, comprising twenty girls and twenty boys from Years 8 to 10, attended the camp, training in track and field events during their stay. Students also improved their swimming technique and attended a number of exercise sessions, including body combat classes. Miss Welford, who led the trip, encouraged the students to fulfil their potential by participating in the various sports, along with staff members Miss Briggs, Mr Birkett and Mr Sarsons.

Each day started early with breakfast being held at 7.30am. This was followed by a full day of sports activities which ended at 7pm each evening. Students and staff were then able to relax after dinner, having taken part in such action-packed days.

The group returned on 7th April, ready to put their improved sporting skills to good use for the summer term's sports calendar!

Charities Week 2025

The halls of St Clement Danes School 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 Homeless. 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 Home. 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.
