After completing their expedition training, 90 Year 9 Bronze Award students accomplished their practice expedition on the 10th and 11th March 2022. All students worked hard and found the two days very tiring but a great experience.

Students experienced a range of different workshops, developing skills that they will need on their assessed expedition. Students took part in sessions in cooking outdoors, pitching tents, first aid and navigation. Students also completed a practise walk, in which they were remotely supervised to simulate the conditions that they will be in for their assessed expedition.

On the 17th and 18th March the students embarked on their assessed expedition which involves a two day expedition with a night in a tent. Students navigated themselves around the Kent countryside, set up camp and cooked in order to pass their expedition section. This is the section that students find most challenging but also the most rewarding!
