DofE - Brecon Beacons

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award has started again for the year with a successful sign-up of another 167 boys. We now have just over 400 participants across the three levels: Gold, Silver and Bronze.  

The Lower Sixth Gold Walking participants undertook a training walk in the Brecon Beacons National Park, where, joined by Sherborne Girls, they attended a mountaintop Remembrance Service at a war memorial.  

This term we have awarded 19 Bronze and six Silver awards.  Congratulations to James Miles (e 22) and James Burton (a 22) for completing the prestigious Gold Award this term and a special mention to Ben Smith-Bingham, (U6d), Freddie Cole (g 22) and William Sowerbutts (U6g) who have completed all three levels during their time at Sherborne. Good luck to all these who are participating in the scheme and we look forward to another successful year of DofE at Sherborne.
