Students celebrate European Day of Languages

On Tuesday 26th September, students from St Clement Danes and Croxley Danes Schools spent their lunch time celebrating the European Day of Languages in the Anchor building. Staff had arranged a number of activities to celebrate this day, which has been held annually since its inception in 2001, during the European Year of Languages.

The day promotes the importance of language learning and cultural diversity of Europe, and gives people an opportunity to have some multilingual fun!

Our students had an opportunity to play games, participate in quizzes, taste food from European countries and watch a Disney film in a foreign language. The Modern Foreign Languages faculty was packed with students and staff who were enjoying the various activities during their lunch break.

Thank you to the MFL staff who organised the events, and to all the students who participated in the European Day of Languages, including our sixth form students whose assistance contributed to such a successful day!

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.
