The weekend saw a group of our Year 11 pupils undertaking their DofE Silver Award Practice Expedition.
Setting off from school on Friday and heading to the beautiful Surrey Hills, the boys and staff checked into a local YHA hostel where they went over routes, navigation, nutrition, cooking and safety.
Successfully completing a 12-mile route on Saturday gave them the opportunity to put into practice their navigation skills, to experience varying terrain and to appreciate their surroundings. A further 10 mile hike on Sunday finished off the weekend.
The entire group showed great teamwork and progress on the skills necessary to complete their upcoming qualifying expedition in October.
Mr Wragg and Mr Smith were extremely proud of the boy’s achievements and how well the boys conducted themselves over the course of the weekend…. “The boys were an absolute credit to the school and the whole experience was an absolute pleasure to supervise”.
