37 Year 10 students spent three days navigating various parts of the Ashdown Forest. Students had to plan their routes, carry their own equipment and working together as they navigated unfamiliar terrain. At camp they were responsible for putting up tents, preparing and cooking their own meals and keeping the site clean and tidy. Students were tired, cold, wet and found the weekend challenging yet rewarding. By the end of the expedition, all students felt proud of what they had achieved and more confident in their ability to cope with challenges, making the experience both memorable and meaningful.

The DofE team are very proud of all students that took part for their enthusiasm, resilience and exemplary behaviour.
