Duke of Edinburgh students complete bronze award

Congratulations to eighty two students who have successfully completed their bronze Duke of Edinburgh expedition this weekend. Expedition leaders Mrs Kirby and Mr Taylor reported that students were fortunate to experience good weather over the weekend, and that they managed to avoid the heavy rain that affected many local areas. The expedition started and finished at Wendover Woods in Buckinghamshire. The students walked a circular route over the two day period, with the group camping overnight at Braid Wood Scout campsite nears Kings Langley.

The leaders reported that that the students' behaviour was exemplary throughout the weekend and that they were a credit to the school

The students will have completed their bronze award when they give a presentation about their expedition on the 6th of July. Students in current year 9 will be able to attend the "market place" style presentation to find out more about the award scheme, and take part in a questions and answer session afterwards.

Mrs Kirby and Mr Taylor expressed their gratitude to parents and staff who volunteered to help man checkpoints, track groups down and stay overnight on the camp site, which enabled the leaders to run the expedition for the high number of student participants.

Well done to all students on completing their bronze Duke of Edinburgh award!
