Winter Market & Comedy Night Success

The Parents Association held a Comedy Night in early November. Comedy Night was a great evening with a chance to finally be social, interact with other parents, while raising funds for the school. The acts were varied and hilarious and the compere managed to get everyone involved, including getting a few parents onstage to play an unusual version of heads or tails – a bonus moneyspinner - at the end of the night! Thank you to everyone who came for your contribution.

The hugely anticipated Winter Market also took place on Saturday 13th November and saw regular and new stallholders join us. We received some great feedback about the range of unique gifts and delicious food which was available on the day. Thank you to everyone who donated to the tombola and second-hand uniform stalls or who supported the school with your purses and wallets. Both events raised over a staggering £6,000 in total for the school.

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.
