Year 10s Raise Money for Charity

On Monday 5th September Cameron Traill and Jonny May held what we hope to be the annual St Clement Danes charity football match. It began with an idea that Cameron came up with. The charity we chose to fundraise for was Cancer Research UK, as both of us have had family members that have had battles with cancer. Our original goal was £250, and that even seemed like a stretch, but through the players and their families' generosity we were able to raise a whopping £625, absolutely smashing our goal. We would like to say a huge thank you to Mr Birkett and Mrs May who stayed after school to supervise this event and it was a thrilling game that ended 5-1 to Team Jonny. A big well done to all the players and a special well done to Ollie and Maitham for being crowned players of the match for their stellar performances at centre-back and goalkeeper. Finally, a large thank you to Jack for taking some great videos and photos of the match. Myself and Cameron hope that we can do this match at the end of the year and make it even bigger and even better and let's see if we can raise even more money for UNICEF which will be our next charity. Thank you all for taking the time to read this and thanks to all who donated.

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.
