All of the pupils have successfully completed their D of E Silver training and practice expedition and are safely back at Trent, sorting their kit out and washing off the vast amounts of Derbyshire's finest mud we've brought back! Well done to everyone involved. @TrentCollege

We've had a productive evening on the Silver D of E expedition, with pupils using all of their route-planning skills ahead of tomorrow's walk... @TrentCollege

The second group of our Silver D of E pupils have made it to the top of Win Hill and are enjoying the spectacular views (along with the prospect of a bit of downhill!). @TrentCollege

There are some top survival skills being learnt by year 8 in North Yorkshire this afternoon....you just never know when they might come in handy! @TrentCollege

The afternoon has started with a swing for year 8! @TrentCollege

Year 8 are having an exciting week in North Yorkshire! We had a great time yesterday - learning new skills, reaching new heights, and flying high. Looks like it might even be sunny today! @TrentCollege

Amazing to launch our Christmas Shoebox Appeal this week, and they are already coming in! It's a wonderful opportunity to help others less fortunate, and we're hoping for an even better number than last year. Deadline 23rd November! Thank you. @TrentCollege

Well done to our 50 Y11 pupils who completed their Duke of Edinburgh Silver Practice Expedition this week. It was a fairly rain-soaked experience for them, but resilience and cheerfulness shone through! @TrentCollege

The first half of the Summer Soirée took us from Abba to Williams... the second will be Zawwul to the Arctic Monkeys. What a musical and alphabetical treat! @TrentCollege @Trent_Music

[Trent Co-Curricular @TrentCoCu]

A new concert in our programme is taking place tonight in the Obo - a great start to our last week of term! The Summer Soirée promises to be a lovely evening, showcasing our talented young musicians... @Trent_Music @TrentCollege

The Gold Expedition groups are back safe and sound. It's time to clean and sort the kit out before storing it away for another (hopefully sunny!) day... Well done to all of our intrepid pupils and thank you to Mr Baldwin, Mr McIntyre and Mrs Harris! @TrentCollege

[Trent Co-Curricular @TrentCoCu]

It's the last day of our Gold expedition, and all 3 groups are going well across the moors. @TrentCollege

[Trent Co-Curricular @TrentCoCu]

Group 4 even have time to make an instructional video - 'how to cross a busy road'! They are going well on the third day of their Gold expedition. @TrentCollege
