Congratulations to Cadence and Heidi – Gold DofE Champions!

Y13 students completed their Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award expedition last weekend. 🏅

We’re thrilled to celebrate Year 13 students Cadence and Heidi, who completed their Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award expedition last weekend — a truly outstanding achievement!

Facing the full force of Storm Amy, they showed incredible resilience, teamwork, and determination as they trekked through hail, torrential rain, and strong winds. Despite the challenging conditions, their positive spirit never wavered, and they finished their expedition with smiles (and plenty of muddy boots!).

Cadence and Heidi are now well on their way to completing their Gold DofE, an accomplishment that reflects not only their courage and commitment but also their leadership and perseverance.

A huge well done to both — you’ve made us all immensely proud! 🌟👏
