Charities Week 2015

St Clement Danes Sixth Formers have a reputation for academic excellence and student leadership, but for one week each December, they hone their skills in fundraising. From Wednesday 16th to Friday 18th December 2015, they ran a series of events aimed at topping 2014’s record £13000 haul for local, national and international charities. They held an 'Elf Auction' where Sixth Formers could be bought for the day as helpers, staged a Sixth Form Revue and ran the ever popular 'Kidnap a Teacher'. The Sixth Form charities prefects raised awareness of their four chosen charities by running face-painting activities at Chorleywood's Christmas Festival, and were on hand with buckets for most of the week. A lot of fun was had by all, and, in February 2016, cheques for over £2700 were presented to representatives from the Watford Women's Centre, Deafax, Kidscape and the Kenyan Children's Project.

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
