School Community collects for Wrap up London and the Refugee Kitchen

Following an assembly on 1st October which raised awareness of the plight of refugees around the world, the school was given an opportunity to respond with donations.

Chorleywood 4 Refugees suggested two charities that we could support and the school has responded generously.

The Refugee Community Kitchen which operates in London and Northern France will benefit from the huge number of tins we collected (kidney beans, chickpeas and tinned fish).

Wrap up London will distribute the overflowing crate of coats to people who will need them desperately this winter. They work with several charities in London supporting vulnerable communities.

Thank you so much to everybody who has donated - a great effort!

(Mrs Savin, Head of Maths Faculty, and coordinator of charity collection.)

Pupil journalist Sam B secures national 'Student Voices' award

Our  talented pupil, Sam B, Year 9, has been named one of just five winners nationwide in the prestigious ' The Day's Student Voices Young Journalist Awards 2026. Sam B clinched the honour with a compelling, insightful opinion piece titled, “Life Isn't All Sunshine And Rainbows But It's Not Doom And Gloom Either.” The competition judges praised the passion, positivity and exceptional eloquence of Sam’s writing. As part of the winner's package, the article was officially published on The Day’s global Student Voices platform on 15th June, alongside the national announcement of the competition winners. Sam’s award-winning article takes critical aim at the modern media landscape, arguing that mainstream platforms rely on sensationalism and fear to drive reader engagement. The piece contrasts historical anxieties with today's relentless news cycle, which feeds on global catastrophes. While acknowledging real hardships, Sam warns that constant access to bleak updates is mentally exhausting and traps younger generations in a false sense of hopelessness.  Far from advocating for purposeful ignorance, Sam urges readers to stay informed while remembering how far humanity has progressed. The essay highlights that we are living in a golden age of technology and medical achievement.  Ultimately, the award-winning piece serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's inherent resilience and proven ability to thrive in the face of adversity. As Sam beautifully concludes, "It's important to keep positive, because whatever happens, humans always adapt and never lose hope." The entire St Clement Danes community extends its warmest congratulations to Sam on this incredible achievement
