Duke of Edinburgh Gold!
It was a please to welcome back 4 of our outgoing Year 13’s on Monday who came to give excellent presentations on their 4 day expedition to the Brecon Beacons in July.
As well as walking and navigating, the students had been observing the landscape around them and considering how the impacts of infrastructure, industry, farming and tourism had shaped what they saw.
The Gold Award is special in that recipients are invited to the palace, where they receive their certificate surrounded by other young people who have successfully completed the programme, in the company of a member of the Royal Family and a wide variety of famous speakers and special guests.
We are really look forward to hearing about the Gold awards ceremony that you attend – and wish you well in your next steps beyond Post 16 at Clyst Vale, for your next adventures in travel, work and University. Please keep in touch!
A special thank you to Miss Barratt, Chris Eales and Graeme Robb (Leaders and Assessors) for the many, many hours of help, support, advice and supervision that you have dedicated to enable these students to succeed.
We are very proud of you all!
