After Year 9 completed their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh practice, it’s now Year 10’s turn to take on their Silver practice tomorrow.

Building on resilience, teamwork and problem-solving, we’re excited to see them embrace this next challenge.

Tomorrow brings Bronze DofE practice for our Year 9s!

A fantastic opportunity to challenge themselves, develop new skills, and enjoy the outdoors with their team.

Most importantly, it's about staying safe, working together, and embracing every moment of the experience.
