Computer Science students create Treatment Tracker site for COVID-19

Mr Taylor, Subject Leader of Computing, is delighted to share news from two GCSE Computer Science students, Matthew Warminger and James Dolan. The Year 11 students  have  created a website dedicated to tracking the progress of research into the development of vaccines in respect of the COVID-19 virus. The students decided to set up the site, along with friend Hamza, to focus on a positive outcome to the pandemic. Their site is a comprehensive dashboard including features such as the continuous monitoring of the development of vaccines,  progress bars which are updated live for each treatment and a map to track the location and time of research for vaccines and treatments. The site also includes other statistics such as the total number of  global cases and countries affected by the Coronavirus.  The team aim to maintain the site and keep it updated until the pandemic resolves and a vaccine is found.

Well done to the team for their fantastic effort in using their skills to focus on positive outcomes for ongoing research into the COVID-19 virus.  We will follow your site with great interest to find out about the latest research.

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.
