As part of the Gold award expedition, 12 students from QKA trekked across Snowdonia over four days. The sixth formers worked in teams to cover large distances; setting up camps and cooking their own meals.

Principal of Queen Katherine Academy, Scott Hudson, said: “I am thrilled for the students as they have shown incredible hard work and dedication. It is a great accolade to be the first group of pupils in the school to have achieved the Gold award before leaving secondary education, and I hope it inspires other students to do the same.”
