Victory for Senior Boys Rugby team

Well done to the Senior Boys rugby team who won the District Cup Final last week.The 1st XV finished off their year in style with a 31 – 7 victory over local rivals Parmiters. After a tense start, Parmiters took a deserved lead with a run through the SCD defence from the half-way line. The boys responded well with Dan Kingsley turning the game at a crucial time, intercepting a pass on our own 22 metre line and running the length of the pitch to score under the posts. The game was very even and hard fought until a moment of magic from Dexter Myers in the second half, breezing past the Parmiters defence after being set up brilliantly by Captain Johnny Phillips and his fly half Ryan Cheater.  This opened the flood gates, allowing Max Bendall to score an excellent hat trick of tries to seal the win and provide our departing Year 11 and 13 students with the perfect send off.

Coach Mr Graham Brown was delighted with the team's success and said "The boys have worked incredibly hard this year and deserve this success".

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.
