SCHOOL NEWS
Duke of Edinburgh Awards Success
Posted 10th July
We are incredibly proud of eight of our pupils who recently completed their Duke of Edinburgh’s Award expeditions. Four pupils successfully completed their Silver Expedition, while four pupils achieved the more challenging Gold Expedition. Throughout their journeys, the pupils demonstrated determination, teamwork and independence as they navigated routes, overcame challenges and supported one another along the way. These experiences helped them build confidence, resilience and valuable life skills. Their achievements are a testament to their hard work and commitment, and we congratulate all eight pupils on this fantastic accomplishment.
