Students attend Franklin Scholars Award Ceremony

Year 10 students from St Clement Danes School visited Kings College, London, to attend the Franklin Scholars’ Award Ceremony on Thursday 7th July, accompanied by teacher and Franklin Scholar coordinator Miss Ramsbottom. The students had an enjoyable day in London, as the Franklin Scholars organisation celebrated the achievements of the scholars during 2015- 2016.

Congratulations to all students involved in the scheme, who all won awards for their various roles in the scheme. Students Matt McKarell and Sasha Chimbumu gave a speech at the ceremony (see below) and Katherine Phocas and Vicky Gonzalez are seen displaying their well deserved award certificates.

Franklin Scholars is an organisation that is aligned with schools to drive results through peer tutoring and coaching, which helps to build key skills for all the students involved in the scheme. The scheme also assists in developing strong, independent learners, and can be beneficial in easing the transition from primary to secondary school for many students.

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.
