🌟 What a fantastic season for our Duke of Edinburgh’s Award participants! 🌟

Over the past few weeks, 60 Bronze and 20 Silver students have taken on their assessed expeditions across the beautiful West Berkshire countryside.

Demonstrating incredible resilience, teamwork, navigation skills and independence, our students successfully completed their routes while being completely self-sufficient – carrying their own equipment, cooking their own meals and embracing every challenge along the way.

With glorious sunshine throughout, one of the highlights for many was camping overnight and enjoying the great outdoors with friends 🏕️☀️

We are incredibly proud of every student for their determination, positivity and achievements. A huge thank you also goes to our dedicated staff and volunteers for their support throughout the expeditions.
