Avid explorers from Year 9, 10 and 11 took part in their Duke of Edinburgh expeditions this term. Year 9 and 10 underwent the Bronze Award, with Year 11 coming back to school for their Silver Awards.
The Duke of Edinburgh award is one of the leading awards for achievement outside the classroom which demonstrates that students have many life skills and abilities.
Students went out on day expeditions rather than camping, due to the restraints of COVID. As a result, the navigation was over a greater distance and students met the challenge of completing the routes of up to 18km in a day. Both Bronze and Silver teams got to see a lot of the fantastic countryside - mainly the South Downs just outside Brighton & Hove and they demonstrated their camp craft by cooking lunch on Trangia stoves in all weathers!
