Y10 Bronze DofE Expeditions off to a great start!

Over two weekends in May our 90 Bronze DofE participants completed their practice expedition in fine style. The routes they walked took them straight from the school door down through the Dart valley, for a river crossing at Dittisham or Kingswear, before heading to their camp for the evening – many thanks to Stoke Fleming Primary School for the continued support in the loan of their beautiful field. All 14 teams showed great determination, and there were many new skills learnt along the way.  Everyone enjoyed being out in our fabulous local countryside, developing a new appreciation for looking after it on their journey.  The teams are now preparing for their Assessed Expedition in June, which takes place on Dartmoor, in the Bovey Valley area, a great challenge and for many the culmination of their Bronze DofE as they have already completed the other three sections of their award – well done!
