Drama students gain place at RADA Youth Theatre

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for Year 13 drama students Joe O’ Gorman and Evie Jordan, who have succeeded in joining the RADA Youth Company (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art). They are two of sixteen students who have been selected to attend Youth Company Saturday workshops at RADA in Gower Street, London. They were chosen from many applicants, aged between sixteen to twenty years, after attending a selection of short workshop auditions earlier this year. This is a great opportunity to be taught by prestigious RADA coaches. During the year, Joe and Evie will explore many areas including improvisation, devising methods, Alexander Technique, stage combat, text work, voice work and movement.

The course culminates at the end of the summer term with the students performing a classical play in a public performance at RADA's Jerwood Vanbrugh Theatre.

Congratulations to both students on being selected for this exciting opportunity, and we look forward to following your progress with great interest!

Year 8 Swimmers Make Waves at County Championships

We are delighted to announce that two of our Year 8 pupils, Sam C and Grace F, have achieved significant success in the pool, qualifying for and competing at the prestigious County Swimming Championships. Qualification for Counties is a major milestone in the swimming world. To be eligible, swimmers must achieve strict published qualifying times and rank within the top 25 competitors in their age group across the entire county. Both students have demonstrated exceptional talent to reach this elite standard. Sam has secured his place in an incredible variety of events, demonstrating his versatility across both sprints and long-distance endurance races. Representing Berkhamsted Swim Club, Sam will be competing at the Westminster Lodge Leisure Centre in St Albans throughout January. His comprehensive schedule includes: Freestyle: 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, and 1500m Butterfly: 50m, 100m, and 200m Individual Medley: 100m, 200m, and 400m Matching this high standard of performance is Grace F, who represents the U13 age group. Grace has already secured a fantastic 9th place ranking in the county for the 100m breaststroke. Beyond this individual success, Grace is a dedicated member of Ricky Swim Club and a vital part of the SCD team, regularly representing the school in the Herts League. Reaching this level requires a sustained and high level of commitment. Over the past eight months, both swimmers have balanced intense training schedules and regular licensed galas alongside their academic studies. Their success is a testament not only to their athletic ability but also to their discipline and excellent time management. Please join us in congratulating Grace on her top10 ranking and wis
