Roraigh Achieves Scholarship at Watford FC

We were delighted with our Year 11 student, Roraigh Browne, who was awarded a scholarship at Watford Academy.

Roraigh is a keen sportsman and has been playing football for the past 5 years, namely in goal. He was scouted in a Saturday league game in the end of the season in Year 8. He then underwent a four week trial, which usually lasts 8 weeks but due to the interest he had generated from top clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham, Watford were keen to sign him up quickly!

Roraigh is a testament to his peers, training extensively four days a week at two hours at a time and playing matches on the weekend.

On the 13th of December Roraigh was ecstatic to have been offered a two year scholarship for Watford as well as 10 other boys at the club. The scholarship will mean he is able to study for his A-levels with private tutors as well as playing football four days a week.

Congratulations Roraigh, we really look forward to hearing more on your successes in the future!

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.
