Well done to our 56 Year 9 students in the Alpha group, who successfully completed their Duke of Edinburgh’s Bronze Award expedition on Monday and Tuesday.
Over 2 days and 1 night, they showed great resilience, teamwork, and determination. We are incredibly proud of their achievement.
Congratulations to everyone involved!
Our #DofE Centre Manager for 2026/27, Mrs Russell, was invited to Buckingham Palace over half term to celebrate 70 years of the #DukeofEdinburgh award! 🏆
More than 100 students are involved in the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze award this year, and on Saturday these Year 9 groups took part in their first practice walk!
We extend our warmest congratulations to the 79 students who successfully achieved their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award at last night’s presentation evening. Their dedication, perseverance, and sustained commitment throughout the programme are truly commendable.
We were pleased to welcome so many families and supporters who joined us to recognise and celebrate the hard work and accomplishments of our young people.
We would also like to express our sincere thanks to Mr. Wallace, DofE Manager, and his dedicated team of support staff, who volunteer their time to deliver and facilitate this invaluable programme. Their guidance, encouragement, and commitment play a vital role in enabling our students to thrive and succeed.
Congratulations to all involved on this outstanding achievement.
