Lake District : Duke of Edinburgh

Congratulations to our 2nd year Gold DofE students on completing their expedition in the Ulswater area of the Lake District in July. We look forward to seeing you at Buckingham Palace in the summer to collect your Gold Award Certificates. A fantastic achievement and one that you should be extremely proud of.

Our first year students also completed their practice expedition in the Coniston area of the Lake District. Lots of work to do on your volunteering, physical & skill section before and then you can look forward to your assessment expedition after your exams in summer ’25.
