Resilience, Rain & Rewards for DofE

A huge congratulations to all our incredible students who successfully completed their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh’s Award expedition!

Over four days and two nights, they hiked through the beautiful countryside around Chalfont St Peter and Penn near Beaconsfield, carrying all their kit, cooking their own meals, and navigating independently with maps and compasses.

It wasn’t all smooth sailing — one day brought stormy skies and heavy rain, but their resilience, teamwork, and positive spirit carried them through. No matter the weather, they pushed on, supported each other, and stayed motivated.

The practice expedition proved to be a big challenge for many, but by the time they took on the qualifying journey, it was clear how much they’d learned and grown. From building confidence to mastering outdoor skills, they absolutely smashed it!

We’re so proud of every single one of you — your hard work, determination, and grit truly paid off.
