World Book Day update

World Book Day is designated by UNESCO as a worldwide celebration of books and reading, and marked in over 100 countries all over the world. In fact, it’s the biggest celebration of its kind!

This year was very special as it was the 20th anniversary of World Book Day, and on 3rd March 2017 the LRC celebrated in style.  During morning break a number of staff from different departments came along to the LRC to read parts of their favourite books for the students.  It was great to see the IT and PE departments represented along with a large turnout from English.  At lunchtime the LRC was filled to overflowing with students taking part in competitions including ‘Match the Teacher with the Bookcase’, ‘Name the Book by its Cover’ and then the ‘Giant Book Quiz’.  The day was enjoyed by all who took part.

Competition Prize winners were:

Giant Book Quiz:                         Francesca Shires, Ashgar Noor,  Kushi & Darena           Gospodinova Y8

Match the Bookshelf:                 Lucy Whinnett & Emily Gillies

Year 8 Swimmers Make Waves at County Championships

We are delighted to announce that two of our Year 8 pupils, Sam C and Grace F, have achieved significant success in the pool, qualifying for and competing at the prestigious County Swimming Championships. Qualification for Counties is a major milestone in the swimming world. To be eligible, swimmers must achieve strict published qualifying times and rank within the top 25 competitors in their age group across the entire county. Both students have demonstrated exceptional talent to reach this elite standard. Sam has secured his place in an incredible variety of events, demonstrating his versatility across both sprints and long-distance endurance races. Representing Berkhamsted Swim Club, Sam will be competing at the Westminster Lodge Leisure Centre in St Albans throughout January. His comprehensive schedule includes: Freestyle: 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, and 1500m Butterfly: 50m, 100m, and 200m Individual Medley: 100m, 200m, and 400m Matching this high standard of performance is Grace F, who represents the U13 age group. Grace has already secured a fantastic 9th place ranking in the county for the 100m breaststroke. Beyond this individual success, Grace is a dedicated member of Ricky Swim Club and a vital part of the SCD team, regularly representing the school in the Herts League. Reaching this level requires a sustained and high level of commitment. Over the past eight months, both swimmers have balanced intense training schedules and regular licensed galas alongside their academic studies. Their success is a testament not only to their athletic ability but also to their discipline and excellent time management. Please join us in congratulating Grace on her top10 ranking and wis
