Duke of Edinburgh students completed their Bronze Award, camping at Abbots Farm, Goathland and canoeing from Ruswarp to Whitby along the river Esk.
The students also set up camp, cooked their own meals, navigated a walk around the area, practised first aid skills and checked health and safety around the campsite.
All this was completed despite the swarm of midges that surrounded our campsite. DofE leaders A.Pounder/J Gofton and the DofE assessors where full of praise for students who all worked well as a team helping each other throughout the Expedition, the students will now start their Silver award in the new term. Well done everyone!
The regional assessor visited one day and was very pleased with what he saw. Click here to see his comments.
We are committed to and passionate about the learning and progress of our students. Staff and trustees have high aspirations for our learners and we aim to provide a high quality, relevant and balanced education for all our students that focuses on individual, personal and academic achievement that will enhance the life opportunities for our young people as they move into the adult world. There is a happy and positive atmosphere in which students can fulfil their potential and grow in self-confidence with respect for the people and environment around them.
