St Clement Danes School achieves 'Outstanding School' in National Textiles competition

St Clement Danes School recently achieved the status of 'Outstanding School' in a National Textiles competition.

The school received this award as a result of the Head of the Technology Faculty, Mrs Firth, submitting 11 entries from students. These were all judged to be of a consistently good standard (including a 'Highly Commended’ and a ‘Merit’ award). The brief was to design a product with a clear function for a specific target market with the additional challenge that it had to fit into a small tin.The judges commented that all of the products were very different from each other, and many were unusual and challenging.

Individual prizes were awarded to Year 10 student Elena Rossetti, who was highly commended, and Louisa Grieco, who achieved a merit award.

Congratulations to the award winning students and to the Technology Faculty on this success!

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.
