Silver DofE Expedition

Are you struggling to fit in an silver expedition offer into curriculum time? Could you do with an extra set of hands to support? Do you want to provide a more challenging experience but don't have the man power, experience or qualifications?  - We'd love to have a conversation.

School staff are welcome to attend as pastoral support but are not part of our staff ratios.   Not sure what to expect? Read our School Staff Guide.
