Students are highly commended in annual NHS Schools' Competition

Earlier this term, all students in Year 9 entered the annual NHS Competition. They were asked to produce a job description and advertisement for a role in the NHS. They used an IT lesson to complete a personality quiz and research all the careers available on the NHS website. In tutor time and Personal Development sessions they created job adverts for their chosen career. This year there were over 3,500 entries from all over the country.

We were delighted that 11 of our students across four tutor groups were awarded Highly Commended certificates.

Huge congratulations to the following who chose to research into these careers:

9A  Josh Beesening, Kai Tyrer  - drama therapist

9C  Lucy Skelhorn, Asher Rose, Elysia Ayling - paramedic

9L  Lexia Manson- Bishop, Sophie Marston, Sia Thaker  - midwife

9S  Noor Ashgar, Ellie Morgan, Frankie Shires  - paediatrician

Year 8 Swimmers Make Waves at County Championships

We are delighted to announce that two of our Year 8 pupils, Sam C and Grace F, have achieved significant success in the pool, qualifying for and competing at the prestigious County Swimming Championships. Qualification for Counties is a major milestone in the swimming world. To be eligible, swimmers must achieve strict published qualifying times and rank within the top 25 competitors in their age group across the entire county. Both students have demonstrated exceptional talent to reach this elite standard. Sam has secured his place in an incredible variety of events, demonstrating his versatility across both sprints and long-distance endurance races. Representing Berkhamsted Swim Club, Sam will be competing at the Westminster Lodge Leisure Centre in St Albans throughout January. His comprehensive schedule includes: Freestyle: 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, and 1500m Butterfly: 50m, 100m, and 200m Individual Medley: 100m, 200m, and 400m Matching this high standard of performance is Grace F, who represents the U13 age group. Grace has already secured a fantastic 9th place ranking in the county for the 100m breaststroke. Beyond this individual success, Grace is a dedicated member of Ricky Swim Club and a vital part of the SCD team, regularly representing the school in the Herts League. Reaching this level requires a sustained and high level of commitment. Over the past eight months, both swimmers have balanced intense training schedules and regular licensed galas alongside their academic studies. Their success is a testament not only to their athletic ability but also to their discipline and excellent time management. Please join us in congratulating Grace on her top10 ranking and wis
