Please refer to the email regarding the amended expedition dates sent last week. I will arrange a meeting for pupils in due course to discuss the plan. 

Well done to those who have managed to continue with their physical, volunteering and skills sections despite lockdown. Do please keep logging your hours and recording evidence. Some pupils have even signed off sections, a fantastic effort!  

If you haven’t started, you should consider utilising the DofE temporary changes. DofE have provided additional options so that you can complete your award despite the pandemic

Well done for your continued efforts to complete your award, my priority remains to provide the best possible DofE expedition experience for pupils.
