Open Day Event September 2021

We were delighted to once again open our doors to prospective parents and students last weekend for our Open Day event. The morning was allocated for secondary transfer students for 2022 and the afternoon for prospective 6th form students.

Mr Sutherland, during his headteacher’s speeches, commentated on how wonderful it was to see so many parents and potential students attend once more. Deputy Headteacher Mrs Jones took some time to clarify the admissions procedures in place.

The audience was delighted by speeches given by Head boy, Ned Cadogan, Year 8 students: Polly Birkett, Tom Skinner, Nathan Wright and Matilda Harrison-Maggs. Tours were led by our enthusiastic students in small groups showcasing the school and it’s extensive grounds. Faculties had placed together fantastic displays of student work and were all on hand to answer questions. The English Faculty had asked prospective students to 'Continue the story', some of their creative writing can be seen in the gallery below!  

One prospective student, Deven, commentated when asked “I really liked the headteacher’s speech, it seems like a very nice school to come to.”

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.
