This past weekend saw eleven students from years 10 and 11 take part in the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh expedition!
After attending weekly after-school sessions on a variety of topics such as navigation, camp craft and first aid, they relished the opportunity to put their skills to use.
Our students impressed us with their fantastic evening meal preparations at the campsite, which included cheese quesadillas and spaghetti bolognese. They also demonstrated resilience and determination to succeed when hiking through the wet weather the next morning.
They were a credit to the academy over the whole weekend, earning multiple compliments from staff at the campsite and numerous members of the public
