Team Nexus Triumph in Year 8 Herts for Learning Maths Challenge

Congratulations to Team Nexus, who took 1st place in the Year 8 Herts for Learning Team Maths Challenge! Our second team also performed brilliantly, securing an impressive 3rd place in a closely contested final.


It’s been a packed and rewarding week of mathematics for our Year 8 students. After competing in the second round of the UKMT Maths Challenge on 10th June, they went on to shine in the Herts for Learning final before rounding off the week with their DET Year 8 assessments. 


This outstanding result comes after months of preparation and dedication. Having finished 3rd and 4th in last year’s competition, both teams have been training hard every Friday lunchtime in Maths Club, honing their skills and teamwork.


Their commitment and enthusiasm have truly paid off, a huge well done to these hard-working and talented mathematicians. Time to clear a space in the trophy cabinet!

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.
