Duke of Edinburgh Gold expedition
Published: Fri 17 July 2026Last week, our year 12 students travelled to Wales to complete their Duke of Edinburgh Gold expedition. Over four days, they paddled along the River Wye, navigating independently with maps and working together as a team to reach each campsite safely at the end of every day.
“DofE Gold canoeing in Wales challenged me physically and mentally, teaching me resilience, teamwork and the value of perseverance through every mile showing me that the toughest journeys often become the most rewarding.” – Aidan
