Extreme Reading Challenge 2016

Congratulations to Year 8 student Serena, who is the winner of the Extreme Reading Challenge 2016. LRC librarians, Mrs Gustafsson and Mrs Murray, held a competition for the most unusual place to be photographed whilst reading a book during the summer. The entries, from both staff and students, ranged from gondolas in Venice to balancing acts in Whitby.  LRC staff thanked all students and staff who submitted entries for the competition.

The librarians are also running a lunchtime ‘Book Club’ for Years 7 to 9 on alternate Tuesdays, and for Years 10 & 11 students on alternate Thursdays, both at 1pm.  They welcome students from these year groups to come along to the Book Clubs. 

If students from other year groups would like to start a Book Club, please visit the LRC and have a chat with Mrs Gustafsson & Mrs Murray.

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.
