SCD School Making their Mark in Music

We are delighted to announce that St Clement Danes School has been nominated for a second time as a Music Mark School, the first being in 2018-2019.

Music Mark is an organisation, subject association and charity. All Music Mark schools demonstrate the following benefits of music education:

  • boosts school improvement
  • improves learning skills
  • fosters team working
  • builds life skills
  • underpins better behaviour
  • encourages creativity
  • is for life
  • an educational building block
  • is fun
  • is for everyone

 

As a Music Mark school St Clement Danes is now recognised for the value we place on music whilst ensuring our pupils are able to access and engage with a high-quality music education. The school’s dedication to offering and delivering a broad and balanced curriculum is welcomed and celebrated.

We have always been extremely proud of our Music Faculty, led by Miss Stevens Director of Music, and our talented students who year after year delight us with their spectacular concerts and individual performances. Some of our Danes have gone on to become successful stars in their own right within the music industry, such as acclaimed singer songwriter Sarah Griffiths, now professionally known as Griffs and the singer songwriter Jack Garrett, who has had two extremely successful album releases to date.

We look forward to collaborating further with Music Mark in advocating and supporting high quality music education for our school community to enjoy.

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.
