Hello

Thank you to all the parents, carers, and students who attended our recent Silver DofE Information Evening. It was fantastic to see so the interest and enthusiasm for the next exciting stage of the Duke of Edinburgh journey.

For those who were unable to attend, or would like a recap, we’ve attached the slides from the presentation below. These outline everything you need to know about how the Silver Award will run this year, including:

• 🏃‍♀️ How the Physical, Skills, and Volunteering sections will be completed independently
• 💼 Expectations around kit, costs, and planning
• 📆 Important deadlines and next steps

We’re really excited to be working with this year’s Silver participants and can already see how eager they are to take on the challenge. Expedition supervisors Emma Watson and Chris Morrison will be leading both the practice and qualifying expeditions and will be on hand to support throughout the process. Please see the links for information and forms of interest on the slides below.

We’re aware that there was some miscommunication regarding the letters that were recently sent home. Please accept our apologies for any confusion this may have caused. The attached slides should help clarify the key information, but if anything remains unclear, don’t hesitate to get in touch. I will also be avalibale tonight (Wed 9th July) to meet with anyone that requires more information till 4:30pm.

If your child had previously expressed interest but is no longer wishing to take part, please let me know as soon as possible by emailing [email protected] so we can update our records.

Thanks again for your continued support, we can’t wait to see what this next chapter brings for our amazing students.
