Sixth form student organises 'Local Vocals' Concert in Abbotts Langley

Year 13 student Millie Chapman, who previously attended Abbots Langley Primary School, set up a children’s acapella choir ‘Local Vocals’ in Abbots Langley following her GCSE examinations. Millie started the choir in order to give local children an opportunity to not only sing, but to socialise, perform and feel part of their community.

Millie has a passion for music and has performed in many school music concerts and productions, being a member of both the Chamber and Gospel choirs at St Clement Danes School.  After securing a grant from the local parish council, Millie succeeded in establishing the choir, covering the cost of advertising and the hire of a barn for choir practice. The choir members have covered an array of songs and have put on many concerts for friends and family, showcasing their favourite songs. The choir have also performed at a number of local events within the Abbots Langley community.

As Millie leaves St Clement Danes School to pursue her future ambitions, the choir will perform their last ever concert on Sunday July 16th at Abbots Langley Primary School at 2.30pm. All are welcome to attend.

We wish Millie every success for her future, and hope that some of the St Clement Danes School community will have an opportunity to attend this very special last concert for the choir.

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.
