The atmosphere was filled with pride and achievement as parents, staff and students came together at Hill Valley Hotel in Whitchurch to celebrate the successes of nearly 70 young people at this year’s Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Celebration Evening.
Students across Bronze, Silver and Gold levels were recognised for their dedication, perseverance and commitment to personal growth.
We were honoured to welcome Darren Edwards, renowned adaptive adventurer, speaker and expedition leader, who presented the awards. His inspiring message about resilience, pushing boundaries and the power of a positive mindset left a lasting impact on everyone who attended.
A real highlight came from our own students, as five award recipients delivered thoughtful and deeply personal speeches about what the DofE experience had meant to them. They spoke about how the programme helped them grow as individuals, the resilience they developed through long hikes and navigation challenges, the teamwork skills they built while working with new people, and the confidence gained through volunteering, learning new skills and stepping outside their comfort zones.
Each story captured the heart of the DofE journey and showed that this achievement is about so much more than receiving a certificate.
We are incredibly proud of all our Bronze, Silver and Gold award holders and look forward to seeing where their next adventures take them ⭐👏✨

⚽👏 A big well done to Billy in Year 10 (Brownmoss) on a fantastic refereeing achievement.
Over the half term break, Billy completed a course with the Shropshire Football Association and is now a fully qualified football referee. An impressive milestone and a real testament to his commitment and enthusiasm for the sport.
Whitchurch Alport FC have already snapped him up, and alongside playing for their Under 15s team, Billy will also be refereeing matches for younger age groups and girls’ teams. A brilliant example of dedication both on and off the pitch.

🕯️ Students from Sir John Talbot’s School and The Grove School have recently returned from a powerful and reflective visit to Krakow, Poland, including Auschwitz Birkenau.
The trip focused on learning about the Holocaust and the persecution of the Jewish population in Krakow. It was an absolute honour for students to meet Holocaust survivor Monika Goldwasser, who shared her story of being adopted and hidden by non Jewish parents to escape the Nazis. Her testimony had a profound impact on everyone present.
Students also took part in guided tours of the Jewish quarter and ghetto in Krakow, learning about Jewish life before and during the war, with a particularly meaningful visit to Oskar Schindler’s museum.
Alongside this important historical learning, students visited the Wieliczka Salt Mine and spent time exploring Krakow’s Old Town, gaining a deeper understanding of the city’s culture and history.

🏑After securing first place in the County tournament, our Under 13 boys hockey team headed to the Regional Finals at Nottingham Hockey Centre.
Taking on the top school teams from Worcestershire, Derbyshire, Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Staffordshire was always going to be a big challenge, but our boys rose brilliantly to the occasion.
Across the day they delivered some outstanding performances:
Won 2 matches (1–0, 1–0)
Drew 1 match (1–1)
Lost 3 matches
These results placed them 4th out of 7 teams in their pool, which is an incredible achievement at such a competitive level.
The team showed huge improvement throughout the tournament, showing maturity in their setbacks and real pride in their victories. Well done to our amazing Under 13 boys.
