Students awarded Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award certificates

Year 10 students were presented with their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh certificates and badges in assembly today, as a result of completing their expeditions last year. One hundred and ninety seven students have achieved their Bronze awards - a record number at St Clement Danes School!

The school supports a large number of students who are engaged in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. At present there are cohorts of 139, 57 and 19 students, who, respectively, are working towards their Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards.

Four students have recently achieved their Gold Awards, two of whom will be attending a presentation at St James Palace on 17th May, when they will be formally presented with their awards by a member of the Royal family.

Congratulations to all the students for achieving their awards. The skills and attributes that they have developed during the programme will no doubt be an invaluable asset in the future, both at school and in the workplace. Thanks are given to Duke of Edinburgh Coordinators, teaching staff Mrs Kirby and Mr Taylor, and all the staff and parents who have so generously given their time to support the students throughout the award scheme.  Well done to all involved for making this such a great success!

The programme continues to run at the school, and further information can be found below:

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.
