Charity Football Match

Article by Jonny May and Cameron Traill

On Friday June 23rd the Year 10’s led by Jonny May and Cameron Traill organised our second charity football match to raise funds for Parkinson’s UK. It was a very successful event and a close, entertaining game of football. The two teams were evenly matched and there were some stand out moments of football - Brayden O’Connor’s first goal shocked the opposition and James O’Connor was quick to equalise, skillfull play from Charlie Kindell in the second half put the green team ahead, then Kian Patel’s impressive penalty kept the white team in the game. The penalty shoot out showed the skill of both goalkeepers, Maitham Hassanali and Ben Westcott, but there could only be one winning team!

We would like to thank everyone who was involved, with particular thanks to Amelie and Lois who ran the refreshments on the day and Aryan, Luke and Joel from Year 12 who officiated the match brilliantly.

Special thanks to Mr O’Dowd who supported us every step of the way and thank you to all members of the St Clement Danes community who came to watch the match and contributed to such a good cause.

Our Just Giving link will be open for a little bit longer if you would like to contribute. We are really proud that we have currently raised £1,180 to support the excellent work of the charity Parkinson’s UK.

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 ¾ÃÈȸ£ÀûÒ»Çøless. 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 ¾ÃÈȸ£ÀûÒ»Çø. 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.
