The Silver Duke of Edinburgh practice expedition was a success, with participating students enjoying beautiful sunny days and even a rare glimpse of the stunning Northern Lights!

However, they also faced freezing temperatures overnight in their tents, making sleep challenging for everyone. Despite these difficulties, they persevered and completed the two-day hike. Congratulations to all for their hard work as they prepare for their final assessment in July.

A special thanks to the staff who dedicated their time: Mr. Teasdale, Miss Jones, Mr. Roberts, and a heartfelt thank you to Mr. Hughes for stepping in last minute to transport the students to and from Llangollen.
