A Silver Adventure: Year 10s Conquer the Duke of Edinburgh Expedition
Published on 09/10/25
Matt Cowley, Assistant Head of Outdoor Education, tells us all about Year 10s Silver Duke of Edinburgh’s expedition.
In July, a determined group of Year 10 students embarked on their Silver Duke of Edinburgh’s expedition, showcasing incredible teamwork, resilience, and spirit. Carrying everything they needed on their backs, they navigated challenging terrain, battling the elements to set up their own campsites, and cooked their meals.
The expedition was a great progression from Bronze, a test of character, pushing the students to overcome obstacles and rely on one another. Along the way, they developed essential skills in navigation, campcraft, and leadership, all while forging unforgettable memories and strengthening friendships.
Their successful completion of this journey is a fantastic achievement and a testament to their hard work and preparation. Congratulations to all the participants on earning their Silver Duke of Edinburgh award!
