Students win East of England finals in national NHS Competition

NHS staff Elaine Turner (Health Careers Representative), and Natasha Green (Paramedic), attended the Year 9 assembly on Wednesday 15th May to present Year 9S students Jake, Rikhil and Dexter with certificates in recognition of them being named Regional Winners in the East of England ‘Step into the NHS Schools’ 2019 Competition.

The competition is part of the Step into the NHS campaign, run by Health Careers, and is open to 12 to 14 year olds. The competition aims to get students thinking creatively about health service careers and their future work prospects.  Over 3600 students from across the country took part in the competition with students having to select one of the 350 careers in health, and work creatively to produce a job advertisement and a job description of the ideal candidate.

All of our Year 9 students produced electronic entries during their careers modules in Personal Development as well as during one IT lesson. The winning team chose the job role of a paramedic and produced a video advert.

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.
