Of the 88 students who went on the final expedition, all have completed their award.

The students have put in in excess of 56 hours over the three areas of Volunteering, Physical and Skills and two 2 day expeditions at Bronze and 65 hours of Volunteering, Physical and Skills as well as two 3 day expeditions at Silver.

The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a sought-after qualification which looks good on any application form and allows students to stand out from others. It gives the students a chance to show their skills in a variety of different settings. We are pleased to announce that St Clement Danes will be offering all three level of the award (Bronze, Silver and Gold) this year.

Students who wish to sign up for Silver need to be in Year 10 or 11 and in Year 12 for Gold. Year 9 parents will receive information about the Bronze award in due course.

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.
