Biddulph High School DofE The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Gold Expedition presentation evening. Tales of long days trekking, tall bracken, resilience and great teamwork. Well done to all involved - what a fantastic achievement completing this section of the Award.

After a break of some time we are resurrecting the Biddulph DofE award twitter. We will be using this to pass on information about the award scheme and our expeditions.

Expedition letters for the Bronze training and Silver Practice expeditions have been given out today. If your child does not have one please ask them to see Mr Ackerley asap.

Afternoon, we are holding a training event after school on Wednesday 26th April, all about food and cooking, including stove safety etc. If possible I’d like all Bronze and Silver students to attend.

Please can you let me know if you have not received a Welcome Pack for your or your child’s award. There has been an issue at DofE this year and some of these have not been sent out. Thanks

For anyone who missed the talk on expedition food on Wednesday, here is some information that you may find useful: biddulphstaffssch-my.sharepoint.com/:p:/g/personal…

For those attending an expedition this weekend, the OS Locate app can be a valuable tool. It gives you an accurate 6 figure grid reference for your location and does not rely on phone signal to work. shop.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/apps/os-locate/

Unfortunately, the campsite we were using for Saturday 13th May is flooded and we can no longer use it. We have arranged an alternative campsite, please check your emails for the new address for Sunday morning pick up. Many Thanks

All students in camp safe, tents up and busy cooking their dinners

If possible this morning, please could you park in the pub car park, rather than the campsite itself. Many Thanks.

DofE qualifying expedition letters have now been sent out. Please let me know if you have not received this via email.
