We were delighted to be joined by members of the Rotary Club of Grantham Swimarathon and their President, Peter Chalk. We are grateful of their support of the DofE programme. Overall, students achieved 51 Bronze Awards, 48 Silver Awards, 3 Gold Awards, 4 Certificates of Achievements, 42 Sectional Certificates and 7 SWRA DofE Awards. We are incredibly proud if everything they have achieved, and we look forward to launching the Duke of Edinburgh programme to Year 9, 10 and 12 students in assemblies this week.
