Students volunteer at Epilepsy Society at Chalfont St Peter

SCD Sixth Form are very proud that several Year 13 students and Old Danes responded to a recent tweet from @scdsixthform asking for volunteers. The help was sought by the Epilepsy Society situated at their residential centre in Chalfont St Peter.  The centre has been struggling to support their residents due to many carers being in self-isolation or having to care for young children at home. Volunteers are needed to support the residents at the centre, who are unable to self-isolate.  It is inspirational to see our young people step up to support these vulnerable individuals who need to be cared for in their residential setting in the local community. The Epilepsy Centre has emailed the Sixth Form to thank school for their support - ‘Many thanks for your support last week – we received an application from one of your ex-students within a few hours …. more interviews are lined up for today… a fantastic response!’

Sporting Success: A Season of Triumphs for the PE Faculty

It has been an exceptional start to the year for our sports teams, with pupils across Year 7 and Year 11 delivering outstanding performances on the pitch, the court and the track. Here is a roundup of the latest results from the PE Faculty. Football Successes: The Year 11 Boys football team produced a fantastic display to reach the U16 County Cup Quarter Finals. While all 15 squad members contributed superbly to the team effort, special mention must go to Frankie and Myles, who were named Players of the Match after scoring two spectacular long range strikes. Ollie and Sammy also found the net to complete the scoring. Meanwhile, the Year 7B team showed true grit in wet conditions to secure their second win in the district league against CDS. A great goal from David and a composure-filled penalty from Player of the Match, Zak, secured the victory.  Athletics Achievements: Our Year 7 Athletics teams have seen their dedication pay off after training hard on Thursdays throughout the term. At the TR&W SSP Indoor Athletic Meeting, the Girls’ team took home a brilliant 1st place, while the Boys’ team finished a strong 3rd. We also have a massive individual achievement to celebrate. Theo (Year 7) has been crowned the U13 South of England Shot Put Champion at the Lee Valley Indoor Track. In what was his first-ever indoor competition, Theo smashed his personal best by 50cm. He also showed great pace on the track, reaching the semi-finals of the U13 60m sprint and missing out on the final by a heartbreaking 0.06 seconds. Basketball Season Opener: The basketball season got off to a super start with a thrilling game against Rickmansworth School. In a contest between two evenly matched sides, our team came out on top, led by a fine performance from captain Seth. Congratulations to all pupils for their hard work and sportsmanship!
