Bold Voices Workshop

On Tuesday 22nd February, Bold Voices, an organisation which tackles gender inequality, came into St Clement Danes School, and spoke to the Sixth Form students about gender-based violence at University. Yosh, the representative, talked about her own experiences at University as well as ways we can tackle gender-based violence that we may encounter in our later lives.

Following this, a selection of Year 12 students were given an interactive training workshop, teaching them about how gender-based violence can begin, how it can be avoided and how to teach and inspire the Year 7 students.

The next day, on the 23rd, the Year 7 students had their own workshops where they learnt about stereotypes, attitudes, structures, and experiences all relating to gender-based violence. They all had a great time chatting and thinking about the important topic. Yosh and Tash, as well as members of staff, and Year 12 students, walked around the groups helping with the tasks, encouraging the conversations and answering any questions that were asked.

Overall, everyone had a really good time and learnt a lot! If you are interested in learning more about Bold Voices, their website is linked below. Also keep a look out for more school events run by the SCD Bold Voices Ambassadors www.boldvoices.co.uk

The programme at SCD for Bold Voices is organised by Faye Ramsbottom, Associate Assistant Headteacher, and both her and Mr Seabrook supported the workshops and talks as teacher ambassadors.

Year 8 Swimmers Make Waves at County Championships

We are delighted to announce that two of our Year 8 pupils, Sam C and Grace F, have achieved significant success in the pool, qualifying for and competing at the prestigious County Swimming Championships. Qualification for Counties is a major milestone in the swimming world. To be eligible, swimmers must achieve strict published qualifying times and rank within the top 25 competitors in their age group across the entire county. Both students have demonstrated exceptional talent to reach this elite standard. Sam has secured his place in an incredible variety of events, demonstrating his versatility across both sprints and long-distance endurance races. Representing Berkhamsted Swim Club, Sam will be competing at the Westminster Lodge Leisure Centre in St Albans throughout January. His comprehensive schedule includes: Freestyle: 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, and 1500m Butterfly: 50m, 100m, and 200m Individual Medley: 100m, 200m, and 400m Matching this high standard of performance is Grace F, who represents the U13 age group. Grace has already secured a fantastic 9th place ranking in the county for the 100m breaststroke. Beyond this individual success, Grace is a dedicated member of Ricky Swim Club and a vital part of the SCD team, regularly representing the school in the Herts League. Reaching this level requires a sustained and high level of commitment. Over the past eight months, both swimmers have balanced intense training schedules and regular licensed galas alongside their academic studies. Their success is a testament not only to their athletic ability but also to their discipline and excellent time management. Please join us in congratulating Grace on her top10 ranking and wis
