Gold Award Celebration at Buckingham Palace (16 May 2022)
We were part of the Record-breaking 12000 Gold award ceremony held at Buckingham Palace on 16 May 2022. The Celebrations recognised young people who did their demanding Gold DofE programmes both before and during the COVID pandemic. Our morning celebrations saw DofE Trustee HRH the Earl of Wessex and Strictly Come Dancing’s Johannes Radebe give speeches of total inspiration. TV explorer Ben Fogle, DofE Alumna and actor Nina Wadia and The Apprentice’s Tim Campbell were also on hand with inspirational talks on careers and life skills. Johannes left us feeling like we could achieve anything we put our minds to: “Don’t dream big, dream huge because you have proved to yourself that the sky is your limit and the world is your dance floor.”
Bronze DofE 2022
With 171 students taking part in the Bronze DofE Award we needed to split them over two weekends. Expectations were high and group one definitely paved the way for Group two. With staggered starts they walked to Youlbury, along the canal and up a hill, checking in with teachers along the way. Camp was set up and cooking together really tested the limits of teamwork. They then headed back to school the next day, tired but happy to have completed their expedition.
