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!

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.
