Vibrant Murals Illuminate Humanities

In a collaborative effort to enhance their learning environment students have played an integral role in the design and creation of stunning murals adorning the Humanities corridor. Led by the Humanities prefects, students from Years 8 to 11 actively participated in the creative process, contributing their ideas to bring vibrancy to the shared space united by a common goal: to transform the corridor into an inspiring and visually appealing space for learning.

Students' proposals, brimming with creativity and diverse perspectives, were submitted to a professional design company. The company, in turn, provided a selection of different versions to consider. Students were involved with shaping their learning environment and ensuring that the chosen designs resonated with the vision of the school community.

The Humanities corridor has been transformed into a lively, dynamic space. Thank you to the students who dedicated their time and creativity to make this project a resounding success!

On another note, earlier in the month students and staff celebrated the Hindu and Sikh festival of light, Diwali. Students volunteered to decorate the school's entrances with the traditional Indian art work, Rangoli and delivered a whole school assembly helped by Miss Ramsbottom and Mrs Sivagaran. The key message being that light will always overcome darkness and good will win over evil.

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.
