Tremendous Olympics achievement for Old Dane Jeremy Rice

Congratulations to Old Dane Jeremy Rice, olympic skeleton competitor, on his fantastic success at the Olympic Games PyeongChang 2018!

Jeremy celebrated a top 10 finish on his olympic debut as he was placed 10th in a time of 3 minutes 24.24 seconds. This was just over two seconds behind fellow team GB member and Olympic Bronze Medal winner Dom Parsons, who won Great Britain’s first Olympic Men’s Skeleton medal since 1948!

Jeremy was interviewed after his success  saying “I wanted a top 12 and I’m over the moon to be top 10. I put down four solid runs and, in the end, consistency always wins out in a four-run race. Dom finished tenth in Sochi four years ago and I see myself on that same trajectory. It definitely gives me an extra drive for the Beijing Olympics in 2022.”

The St Clement Danes community were thrilled to learn of Jeremy's success, and send our congratulations on his inspirational achievement. We wish Jeremy continuing success for his training towards Beijing in 2022!

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.
