Going for Gold (DofE)

Our Sixth Form Gold Duke of Edinburgh team members have been out on Dartmoor refreshing and developing their skills in preparation for their upcoming four-day expedition. On Friday night, they discussed food planning and suitable equipment for the journey ahead. On Saturday, the teams practised essential skills including first aid for expeditions, emergency procedures, navigation, and environmental awareness.

Mr Aston said he is thrilled to have so many Lower Sixth Teams seeing DofE through to the prestigious Gold Award – saying  “There are over 50 Lower Sixth Students going for their Gold Awards this year and a strong Silver contingent also coming through the school.”
