On the 22nd March our Year 11, 12 & 13 students were thrilled to participate in a Q & A session with the acclaimed actress Indra Ové.

Indra previously played the role of Mrs Shears in the set text the students have been studying 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time' and is currently filming the critically acclaimed Netflix series Sex Education. Indra agreed to a Q & A session to give the students guidance on a career into acting.

Indra inspirationally also talked about her performance in the all-female production of Julius Caeser and the lack of empowering lines to speak on stage for women,  the actress also discussed her father, Horace Ové, a leading black independent British film maker of his time.

The students were inspired and enthused, with Izy M in Year 12 commenting, "It was such a fantastic opportunity to speak with Indra, she was really inspiring and has said she will come and speak to us again".

On a slightly different note, the Drama Faculty would like to say thank you to Mr Gardiner, our SD student, who has been learning to teach in the Drama Faculty this year and imparting his knowledge - Mr Gardiner is an experienced actor, with his latest work trending at number 1 on the acclaimed Netflix show, Shadow and Bone - he has imparted some great knowledge to our students for which we thank him for.

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.
