Duke Of Edinburgh

Duke of Edinburgh encourages young people to go on adventures. As a Church of England school, Wren Academy decided to take part in the scheme. There are 3 awards starting with the lowest as bronze and the highest as gold.
Due to the snowy weather we have had in early February, many students took part in helping keep the school safe by removing the ice. This was not in any form of a punishment as students did this to develop themselves as individuals to help them win their Duke of Edinburgh award. Here are some pictures of them.
