Students at Harington School had a busy few months organising and participating in their Duke of Edinburgh’s Award expedition. The Cambrian Mountains in Wales provided a superb venue for the Gold qualifying expedition, allowing students to feel the real remoteness and unfamiliar environment of the wild countryside. On arrival at Base Camp in Llanidloes they settled in and prepared their equipment before embarking on their four-day and three-night expedition. At this level, expectations are very high and all the students coped extremely well, sharing unforgettable experiences in the outdoor environment, developing initiative, teamwork, leadership, problem solving and organisational skills. Over the duration of the expedition teams showed outstanding resilience, typically covering distances of 50 – 60 miles and finishing on the coast of Borth.![]()

Well done to all of our students that took part. During their DofE journey over the last 12 months, students have shown so many of their hidden talents and have gained so many practical skills and new experiences. Building self-esteem and friendships were considered by our students to be some of the main benefits of participating in our DofE programme. It has also given them a spirit of adventure and the desire to seek out and engage with new and different activities.![]()
