Students and staff celebrate World Book Day!

Students and staff celebrated World Book day on Thursday 7th March 2019. Librarians Mrs Gustafsson and Mrs Murray organised a number of events to celebrate this global event!

Students enjoyed taking part in the Book Title Scavenger Hunt. The students were given a list of book titles and they had to match and find the member of staff wearing the badge with that title. The librarians also showed film clips from books and held a book quiz at lunch time, with help from library prefect Freya Rickard. Students were also treated to a variety of sweets whilst they were engaged in the numerous activities!

Congratulations to the following year 7 students who won the following competitions;

Book Quiz Winners - Zakariya, Leo, Matteo and Danvir

The English faculty joined in the fun and can be seen in character from Louis Sachar's book 'Holes'!

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
