INFORMATION TO FOLLOW

Adventurers

Following the Easter holiday each year, Year 9 students are invited to enrol in the Adventurers group.  This aims to equip them to take part in the expedition part of the DofE Award and give them a chance to see if they “up for it”.

On completion of the Adventurers module, they can apply to take part in the full DofE scheme and get started on their non-expedition sections.
