| “Being asked to take on the role of patron after my father is a particular honour and quite a responsibility. Sustaining and enhancing what is arguably his greatest legacy around the world matters a great deal to me, as does pursuing the award's long-term ambition of universal access so that every eligible young person has the opportunity to participate.” Prince Edward, The Duke of Edinburgh. |

Expedition groupsExpedition groups are formed, which will be the groups for both the practice and qualifying expeditions. If any students drop out, groups may need to be changed to ensure we are not running groups below the minimum numbers. If this does happen, we will work to ensure all students are still in a group with others they know. |
Both expedition weekends and the in-school training day are run by BXM Outdoors. Please visit the parent information section on their website for lots of useful information, including full kit list information and food advice:
