'Brand You' Day

On Wednesday 17th July we were fortunate to welcome visitors to our Sixth Form 'Brand You' event day from a diverse range of organisations including the Institute of Grocery Distributors, Tesco, Booker, Defra, The Recruitment Queen, Ask Apprenticeships, Events Frontier and the University of East Anglia. They came to talk to our Year 12 students about life after Sixth Form and help widen their horizons as to what options are available to them. Students were able to attend talks on apprenticeships, Gap Year volunteering, writing a CV, promoting yourself to a future employer, skills and attitudes to impress, and of course information about universities and student finance.  Our visitors were full of praise for our Sixth Form saying what lovely students they met – confident, courteous, engaged and interested. Our students also gave us great feedback and said the day was very useful and they appreciated the insights they were given by these expert visitors. Thank you to all the representatives from the various organisations for providing our students with such an enjoyable and informative event.

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
