Our Duke of Edinburgh Year 11 teams completed their practice expedition on 21st and 22nd September with flying colours.
They all achieved beyond their steps targets, managed to climb a few hills without falling apart and finally managed to work out how to pack a bag with just the essentials, without any unnecessary extra weight. They were an absolute credit to Aspire Academy.
The group will complete their qualifier in October and the remainder of their sections over the next few weeks so as to receive their awards at a celebration evening, date to be confirmed.
A massive thank you, as always, must go to the staff members who generously give up their weekends so these events can go ahead - Mr Tock and Mr Goldstone take a bow for the support and the entertainment provided during the weekend.
