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”.

Rosh Hashanah begins the evening of the 25th and continues to the evening of 27th.
Rosh Hashanah, literally meaning “head of the year”, is the Jewish New Year. It is a time of inner renewal and divine atonement.
It is customary to have big feasts on both nights of Rosh Hashanah and there are lots of customary dishes, including: honey cake, brisket, tzimmes and more Rosh Hashanah recipes
One of the common practices of Rosh Hashanah is attending the High Holy Day services, where the shofar can be heard.
Many people go to a Tashlich service where they throw bread crumbs into a naturally running body of water as a means of casting away their sins. On the second night of Rosh Hashanah it is customary to eat a new fruit, a symbol of newness.
Looking forward to seeing the Year 11 boys tomorrow and hearing about their DofE Silver Practice Expedition!
A group of our boys who went through the DofE Bronze programme last year in Year 10 have signed up to continue on into the Silver award. This time we’re starting with the Expedition section so, on Friday, they went off to the Surrey Hills area for their practice session.
