DofE Expeditions

July 19, 2023

As we type we are currently finishing our last expedition from our 10 days of back to back Duke of Edinburgh expeditions.

Hopefully the final groups make it back on time like the others have. We have been so impressed with the students. They have shown reliance, outstanding teamwork, determination and great maturity. The feedback and support from the local community whilst out and about has been wonderful and we have been so impressed with how polite and courteous the students have been. They have created brilliant memories that we are sure will be looked back on for many years to come. We would like to thank all parents/ carers for their support, the DofE Staff Team who were incredible, First Aid, Site and the Admin team that went above and beyond to support us.

Thank you to the OEC and Duke of Edinburgh for their grants, to FORMS for supplying us with tents for the expedition and to all the staff that have popped in to say hello and check on us. 

We would also like to thank Richard Lovell and Lord Wandsworth College for helping to make the expedition possible, supporting us and letting us camp in their beautiful woodland.
