So proud of our two @DofE Gold groups who have now completed their Practice Expedition. So we now say goodbye to the Isle of Arran for another year and start our long journey home to Norfolk @Wymondham_High

A few pictures from our @Wymondham_High @DofE Gold practice expedition on the Isle of Arran. It was an absolute pleasure working with our two groups who showed resilience, determination and who grew in confidence throughout the expedition. A huge well done indeed.

A busy couple of weeks of #DofE expeditions @WyHighAcademy starting with the 3-day practice in Northamptonshire for our Silvers. They all showed amazing determination and resilience over a very hot expedition which had some very early starts. Very proud of them all.
