Huge shoutout to these @DofE legends for being the very first @chelseaacademy students to complete the Bronze, Silver and Gold expeditions! Credit to @ChelseaAcad6th
Our 2nd Gold Expedition in the books! The first time ever for a @chelseaacademy cohort to have done the gold assessed! Well done to all on both the practice and assessed. Some great views of the Lake District! Thank you @samsykesexped
An early start for the final day of Gold Duke of Edinburgh today! Students keen to get up and going, ready to come home to @chelseaacademy later today @ChelseaDofE@DofE#flourish
Some stunning views for our wild camp last night! The gold expeditions were put through their paces by the wind which was soaring down the valley but some sleep was earned! @ChelseaAcad6th@chelseaacademy
A VERY early start for our first ever @chelseaacademy@ChelseaDofE GOLD assessed expedition! 9 Year 13 students, plus 9 Year 12 students doing their practice expedition. Day 1 was travelling, route planning, cooking and orienteering near Coniston in the Lake District. #flourish
Our students have smashed their Duke of Edinburgh Silver🥈expedition. Their determination saw them ahead of schedule at points, the biggest struggle being hay fever 🪻 . Back at camp frisbee and jokes helped all decompress! Well done all! #flourish#DofE
Great first day on the Silver Assessed Expedition for the Y10s.
Good weather always helps to keep spirits high and there’s nothing quite like a 04:30 sunrise alarm! @chelseaacademy
It was a night of wild camping for the groups last night! Some spectacular views nestled in a valley with a reservoir next to us as well.
Try to spot the plane propeller from a crash back in WW2.

The students from @ChelseaDofE have been having a great time on their practice Gold expedition in Snowdonia. They have risen to the challenge well. @DofELondon@vango@CraghoppersUK
