Congratulations to our own Director of Music, Mr. Sam Jackson for an absolutely fantastic Joint Schools Summer Concert - both students and staff put their heart and soul into every performance. Wonderful end to the year in a stunning venue, St. Paul’s Church in Hammersmith.

Updated ETA more likely 6.15pm due to traffic building up on M3/M25 #Silver #DofE

[StJamesTrips @st_trips]

ETA for #Silver #DofE is still 6pm

[StJamesTrips @st_trips]

Final day - reasonably early start to get us finished on time. Relaxed evening yesterday, happy and contented faces today, if somewhat drained. Boys are motivated and looking forward to finishing! #Silver #DofE

[StJamesTrips @st_trips]

Everyone up nice and early... some faster than others... some less-than-impressed..! Weather a bit overcast and much cooler 👌🏽 #Silver #DofE

[StJamesTrips @st_trips]

Loooong day! Cooking by torchlight - boys tired but in good spirits. Coped well with the heat, distance and heavy loads. True perseverance in the face of the challenges they encountered 👍🏼 #ProudTeacherMoment #Silver #DofE

[StJamesTrips @st_trips]

And they’re off! (Moderately delayed thanks to massive diversion and traffic build-up) but all’s well and the weather is stunning! #Silver #DofE

[StJamesTrips @st_trips]

Challenging day yesterday, groups coming into camp between 4.30 and 9pm (!) wet start today but most spirits are high in spite of this!

[StJamesTrips @st_trips]

Cold & frosty start this morning but soon brightened. Day 2 saw many tired boys struggling; others did extremely well. Camp craft can be worked on (!) but left it tidy in the end! Looking forward to the Qualifying Exped. now the shock is out of the way. #Bronze #DofE Mr. Bridge

[StJamesTrips @st_trips]

Walking was tough today for many of the boys. Camino is one thing but with a 15kg bag quite another..! High spirits, dinner, football - up at 7am tomorrow! #Bronze #DofE

[StJamesTrips @st_trips]

Energy to put up tents? Nah not really... 90mins later, let’s cook! #Silver #DofE boys a little tired but in good spirits. Dried off today in some glorious sunshine, still a bitter wind, though some insist on shorts and tshirt!
