The school was extremely proud of their students who recently took part at the 2023 Hertfordshire Schools’ Gala 'Give Life to Music' at Royal Albert Hall. The event celebrates the quality and diversity of music-making in primary and secondary schools and network of music centres and ensembles.

On Sunday 30th April 19 students from across Year groups 7-11 participated in front of an audience of 3000 people. The performance was a 15 minute routine and the longest dance of the two shows on the day. 

Students were selected from secondary schools from around Hertfordshire with only 4 dance groups being selected.

The group performed with an accompaniment of a live orchestra and 2000 piece choir collated of primary school students. 

Miss Tucker, who organised and managed the group, stated, “This was an amazing opportunity for the students to perform at the Royal Albert Hall. For some of these students, this will be the biggest performance they will do. Their performance was outstanding and they received the loudest applause of the night!”.

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.
