Scarlet wins Drummond Award at British Nutrition Awards

Congratulations to former student, Scarlet Beattie, who received the Drummond Award from the British Nutrition Foundation at their recent awards day held at the Royal College of Physicians in Regent’s Park.  Scarlet achieved the top mark in the country (an impressive achievement as the new level 3 qualification in Food Science and Nutrition Diploma replaces A level Food for 3 separate examination boards, and therefore there is one overall winner compared to three previous winners).

Scarlet was presented with her award by Henry Dimbleby, founder of Leon restaurants, co-author of the School Food Plan and leader of the National Food Strategy for the Government. It is a great achievement for Scarlet and for the school, for which Scarlet also received £100 and the school received £200 as part of the Drummond Award prize.

Scarlet was accompanied by her former teacher, Mrs Hawkins,  who was previously Head of Food Technology. Mrs Hawkins was delighted with Scarlet's success and stated that they had a very enjoyable day attending the ceremony.

Well done to Scarlet on this success!

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.
