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.

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
