Year 12 Theatre production trips

 

The drama department has been busy visiting various drama productions. Thank you to our students who watched the productions and did a fantastic job representing our school in the community. 

On Thursday 2nd May our Year 12 students went to the Garrick theatre, London to watch ‘Black Boys who…’. It was a challenging, vibrant, fast paced and ultimately uplifting performance detailing what it is like to be a black male in contemporary society. Students could not stop talking about the performance on the way home and they will definitely be taking inspiration from the production in their own creative choices. 

The Curious Incident in The Night was performed by local amateur dramatics Rickmansworth Players, where many of our students attend the youth programme. Our Year 12 student Chris Shearlock was cast as the lead and was absolutely outstanding, portraying the role of Christopher with sensitivity and consideration. The show was directed by Vikki Flowers (SCD alumnae) and A level students enjoyed seeing one of their set texts brought to life. At the end of the performance Chris received a well-deserved standing ovation.

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.
