Burleigh triumph at Year 7 Inter-Form Drama Competition

This morning, on one of the hottest days of the year, Year 7 students filled the drama studio to watch teams from each form take part in the annual Drama Competition.

The teams were given the stimulus of a magic anchor being rescued from the clutches of evil by superheroes and heroines. Judges remarked on the particularly realistic stage fighting which was a feature of many of the entries and gave particular praise to Lincoln's eerie clock performance, Exeter's trio of superheroines and Essex's Russian cheese-eating dragon. Throughout, the judges said, there was a good use of pace, movement and characterisation. 

Burleigh were finally announced as the overall winners and received the House Drama prize which will be awarded formally at Speech Day.

Many thanks to Miss Byrne, the judges, all the drama staff and, of course, our wonderful performers who helped to make the morning's competition such a 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.
