Happy IMD2024 to our students!

Just prior to the half-term, our Year 11 Duke of Edinburgh boys who are completing their Silver Award went off to the Peak District for their qualifying expedition.
A challenge taken in their stride (literally!) ….. great experiences, great camaraderie, great teamwork, great scenery …. all in all, a ‘great’ success!
This time they stayed in YHA accommodation to introduce them to a budget and self-sufficient means of being able to visit destinations without costing a fortune.
The DofE is an inclusive award programme delivered to young people: “A chance to discover new interests and talents. A tool to develop essential skills for life and work. A recognised mark of achievement, respected by employers. The hope is that they have fun, make friends, improve their self-esteem, and build confidence”
