The Edinburgh Experience

As part of the prestigious Duke of Edinburgh Award, our Year 10 students, currently working towards their Bronze Award, recently navigated their way across the New Forest, carrying their own food, cooking equipment, tents and clothing. The national programme is designed to encourage students to volunteer in the community, learn a new skill and complete a sport every week for six months. In addition, the Duke of Edinburgh Award has been proven to develop confidence, independence and personal development, empowering and challenging students to participate in new experiences outside of the classroom.
