This year we have our biggest ever cohort working towards their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award. Last weekend saw 36 Year 10 students embark on their Practice Expedition, walking from West Dean to Upwaltham. The weather was not particularly kind, with the worst winds and rain ever experienced on an expedition but this did not dampen their spirits in any way!
The groups were absolutely fantastic at showcasing their navigation, campcraft, cooking and teamwork skills; and we as a team are really proud of their achievement. Hopefully the weather will be much more seasonal for their Qualifying expedition in June. Well done everyone!
