Duke of Edinburgh

The Duke of Edinburgh silver award students have been working hard.

The eleven sixth formers have been going to the Phoenix Outdoor Centre on Saturdays to complete training in navigation, rucksack packing, putting up shelters and tents, communication and teamwork.

The 2-night practice expedition to the New Forest in mid May was excellent and has helped prepare the adventurers for their assessed expedition in early July.

Thanks to the many staff who support the expeditions, from booking, to unpacking the minibuses to giving up their weekends to join the expeditions.
