    Easter concert

    On the 26th March St Clement Danes School were delighted to hold their annual Easter Concert. It was an evening filled with phenomenal solo and group performances which the late Sir John Barbirolli - a former student of the school who later went on to be the conductor of the Halle Orchestra in Manchester, and after which the Barbirolli Hall is named - would have been extremely proud.

    For those students in Year 13 the evening held particular significance as it marked their last opportunity to perform in a music concert at St Clement Danes School. The contribution that these students have made over the years to the musical life and soul of the school has been truly outstanding.

    The evening started with a performance by the 2nd Orchestra, followed by solo pieces and ensemble performances from the Gospel and Junior choirs, as well as the newly formed Barbershop Choir, through to the Jazz Band.

    We like to express our gratitude to all of the staff and students involved for their continued commitment and enthusiasm to the musical life of St Clement Danes School, and in particular to the inimitable Mr Butterfield. Our thanks also go to Mrs Hobbs, Miss Flemming, Mrs Harris and the Music Prefects for their contribution to this evening’s concert and the Parents’ Association for providing refreshments.

    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.
