Students at a Calne school will take on "one of the most satisfying challenges that young people from all walks of life can tackle.”
Kingsbury Green Academy students are challenging themselves in the highest category of Duke of Edinburgh Award this summer, and say the value of the legacy left by the Queen’s late consort is immense.
Around 100 students at Calne-based Kingsbury Green Academy, which is part of the Royal Wootton Bassett Academy Trust, take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Awards each year. Despite the pandemic restrictions, the thirteen Year 13 students who are taking part in the Gold Awards have already managed to complete most of the required five sections, which comprise volunteering, physical, skills, expedition and residential challenges.
