Scarlett wins Gold medal at England Athletics Championships!

A fantastic achievement for Year 10 student Scarlett Gammell who has won a gold medal at the recent England Athletics Age Group Indoor Athletics Championships! The championships, also known as the National Indoor Championships, was held at the English Institute of Sport (EIS) in Sheffield in February, where Scarlett won the position of the Under 17 National Indoor Champion in 60 metres hurdles.

This is a fantastic result for Scarlett, as she was competing in the Under 17 category for the first time as a Year 10 entrant, especially as this category is open to both Year 10 and Year 11 competitors. Scarlett won the final in a hugely impressive 8.74 seconds, having won the semi- final in 8.81 seconds and in her heat ran a personal best of 8.68 seconds. These results place Scarlett at the top of the UK rankings for women Under 17 competing in the 60 metres hurdles. (Please see Power of 10 web site below). 

Congratulations Scarlett - a superb achievement as a result of all your hard work! We wish you every success in your future competitions!

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.
