Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Expedition
Huge congratulations to 51 of our year 10 pupils who absolutely smashed their weekend expedition! Setting off from Beaumanor Hall, they conquered two days of challenging trekking and independent navigation.
Day 1: An impressive 18km hike through Barrow, Mountsorrel, and Quorn, followed by tent pitching, a lively game of manhunt, and some "creative" camp cooking (shoutout to the group navigating frozen burgers! ).
The Resilience: Despite freezing overnight temperatures, everyone woke up on Saturday with a smile and fierce determination.
Day 2: Another 18km through Woodhouse Eaves, Swithland, and Bradgate Park, with students confidently leading their groups using map-reading skills. ️
A massive thank you to our amazing staff for the checkpoint cheers and much-needed sweet treats. We are incredibly proud of every single student and can't wait for them to share their experiences with Year 9 soon!
