38 Lower Sixth pupils successfully completed their Gold DofE expedition in the North Pennines last week. Working in groups, pupils at the Gold level award have to plan a four-day unsupported (although St Peter’s staff were in remote supervision) expedition, including routes of 20k+ each day, navigating the hills and valleys of the North Pennines whilst organising campsites and nourishment along the way. After the last few years in particular it was great to see all of our pupils back out in the countryside and to share their relief and triumph as they reached our traditional finish line at Cow Green Reservoir. Well done to every pupil and to the St Peter’s staff who gave up four days away from families to ensure pupils successfully navigated the ups and downs of their Gold DofE expedition.
