We’ve just completed our final schools’ DofE expeditions of the summer and a chance to thank all those involved in the final few weeks. In my last DofE post we were heading up to the Yorkshire Dales and also finishing of some Bronze, Silver and Gold qualifiers. The Kingsley School went to the Peak District to complete their Silver and Gold qualifiers – with the Golds heading up into the Dark Peaks with some tricky navigation which they mastered brilliantly. One of our highlights was heading into Leicester to Crown Hills Community College to work with their students from last year who had now finished school and the current year10s. We managed to have a really successful 3 day training and assessment based locally and the students were fantastic and we were all delighted to finally get it completed after such a long wait. After that we had a mega week in the Yorkshire Dales based at Kettlewell Camping with 6 schools and 7 courses running concurrently. A massive field with good organisation, covid safety in place and 100% compliance from all students meant that we were able to run this really smoothly and safely with our team of fantastic instructors and supportive teachers. Well done to the students from The Bromfords School & The Billericay School on your Gold Practice, Sir Christopher Hatton School, Rugby High School, Casterton College and Northampton School for Girls for completing your Silver Qualifiers. The weather was absolutely scorching, but with very early starts to beat the afternoon heat and superb team work and resilience ensured that it was a really successful week. And finally we were up in the Lake District for the first time this year for a Gold Practice with Rugby High School who did extremely well, with 2 wild camps. We are looking forward to seeing them again September along with 4 other schools to complete various expeditions. So now we have a bit of break to sort everything out and get ready for our Gold DofE mountain biking residential in August that’s fully booked!

It hasn’t been easy fitting in most of last year’s expedition plus this years but all the teachers and students have been fantastic and our team of instructors have worked their socks off. Thanks to everyone!

Last month we took out 17 groups from Rugby High School for their Bronze DofE Qualifier Expedition. Amongst the group was a young lady called Sophia who completed the expedition with cerebral palsy. Despite the extra challenges that she faced, she had a brilliantly supportive team and together they met each challenge with resilience and determination.
