Duke of Edinburgh Award

This half term is an important time for Duke of Edinburgh.

On Friday 23rd September, 40 students arrived at their first campsite in Sevenoaks ready for the challenges ahead.

After pitching their tents, cooking and organising their equipment, the boys had some free time before darkness descended on the camp.

The teams were up early getting to grips with their day’s route planning. Once each team had suitably annotated their map, they were let loose into the Kent countryside with staff shadowing and surprising them at various waypoints.

On arrival at the next campsite, teams were debriefed and advice was given on how to improve their performance on Sunday. All teams made it back to school safely, with the final team arriving back by 3 pm.

Thank you to Miss Difford, as well as Mr Carroll, Miss Fisher, Mr Jewson, Mr Lay and Mrs Wiltshire, who all came out during their weekend to help support the teams.
