RE23 Sustainable Fashion Show in Chorleywood

Year 12 Fashion and Textiles students recently participated in Chorleywood’s first sustainable event, RE23, a fashion show with an environmental message. The show took place in the memorial hall on Saturday 25th March. Students designed and modelled outfits for the event. In keeping with the sustainable theme, students decided to focus their collection on the idea of repurposing and recycling clothes. Students decided to set themselves a £10 spending limit in local charity shops. Using the goods they purchased the students repurposed the clothes into new garments. Their designs were inspired by various fashion decades, and looked fantastic on the catwalk. Well done to the students for all their hard work over the last couple of weeks. 

We are also thrilled to announce Sienna Giles in Year 7 was awarded 3rd place in the 'Waste Not Want Not' competition run by the event. Sienna's design was also featured within the fashion show. Congratulations to Sienna on her wonderful achievement!

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.
