This year we have just over 150 students undertaking their DofE; 12 at Gold level, 45 at Silver and the rest at Bronze.
The Gold students have already been out on their practice expedition (last October) and caught the tail-end of Hurricane Gonzalo. Despite really tough conditions, they saw it through and are now preparing for their Qualifying expedition in July in the Lake District.
The Bronze and Direct Silver students have recently completed their classroom-based expedition training and are soon going to be putting their boots on for the first time for their training day walks in a few weeks. Planning for the Bronze and Silver practice expeditions around Leicestershire and the Peak District will be starting from early March, and groups will be out on their expeditions from mid-April.
Dozens of students who did their DofE last season are now completing their Awards and we have handed out lots of certificates since the start of term, with more in the pipeline.
