3G Pitch Opening Event

On Saturday the 14th May we were delighted to hold an open event for our brand new state of the art 3G pitch. The event had initially been scheduled for last year but due to Covid restrictions in place had to be postponed. 
 
The bright. sunny day saw many staff, students, school families and members of the local community turn out to watch the opening ceremony presided over by John McDermott, technical director of the FA. 
 
Various teams from the school played mini tournaments against each other, with an exciting grand finale involving staff Vs old Danes. 
 
The PA had organised lots of refreshments, a BBQ and Ice cream Van, which was greatly appreciated. 
 
The school is very lucky to be able to offer the students this new facility, which has been made available through sponsorships by the following committees to whom we wish to express a huge thank you to: Hertfordshire Football Association, St Clement Danes Holborn Estate Charity, Chorleywood Common Youth Football Club, Parents Association and the Football Foundation.
 
Finally, a big thank you to our photographer on the day who helped capture some perfect pictures, Amy Esposito, who is also one of our talented sixth form students.

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.
