Bonne Annee from MFL

MFL students have been busy at the start of the spring term with students entering a French model competition, and also making cards to send to their pen pals in France.

The deadline for the French model competition was Monday 15th January, when the staff had a difficult task to judge all the wonderful creations. It was described as model wonderland in the central area of the MFL building, and the high level of creativity involved was truly inspirational.  Well done to Molly Murphy in 7 Temple, who received first prize. Due to the high standard of the entries, the French department awarded a total of sixteen prizes, rather than the three prizes originally planned !

In France it is traditional to send “Happy New Year” cards to friends and family members, sending them good wishes for the year ahead. Recycling their Christmas cards, Year 9 students wrote to their pen friends in France, sending them best wishes for the New Year. This was also an opportunity for the students to reflect on and share their own New Year's Resolutions.

NB For all you keen-eyed linguists out there, please note that our website cannot handle accents in titles! Bonne année à vous tous!

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.
