Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award Expedition Weekend – May 2026

Last weekend, 38 of our Year 10 students eagerly set off on their Bronze DofE expedition training weekend in the local area.

Beginning with practical navigation practice, emergency procedures, first aid and route planning sessions they then headed to their campsites. There they received more training on camp craft including pitching tents and how to use stoves.

After what was a very pleasant night of camping they cooked themselves a delicious breakfast before packing up and carrying all of their expedition equipment while navigating their way back to the School grounds via different routes.

It was an excellent opportunity to build confidence and skills, with acknowledgement of improvements that could be made ahead of their two-day qualifying expedition which takes place in June.

Well done everyone.
