What an amazing weekend of Duke of Edinburgh! Our incredible students took on the beautiful – and blazing – Cheshire Plains with determination, teamwork and a fantastic spirit of adventure!
Despite the heat, every group rose to the challenge with resilience and positivity, turning tough conditions into unforgettable memories. From navigating rolling fields and winding footpaths to setting up camp and cooking meals together, they showed exactly what the DofE is all about — independence, leadership, and pushing personal boundaries.
This weekend wasn’t just about completing the expedition – it was about growing in confidence, supporting each other, and building friendships that will last long after the backpacks come off.
A huge thank you to our incredible DofE staff team, led by the ever-committed Mr Burns, whose support, energy and care made the whole experience possible. Your dedication truly inspires our students to aim high and achieve more!
A massive well done to all our participants – you did yourselves and Wade Deacon proud!
