On the 2nd November , six pupils from Burford School were presented with their Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award at a ceremony in St James's Palace. The pupils: Lizzie Adams, Hannah Brown, Eleanor Corbett, Scott Meridew, Sarah Parsons and Francesca Snare were all introduced to His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh and they chatted to him for several minutes about their journey through the award scheme. The certificates were then presented by Ashley Banjo, the lead dancer and choreographer for the dance group Diversity. Headteacher, Mrs Kathy Haig said, 'The Duke of Edinburgh Scheme is an important part of our extra-curricular activities and young people thrive on the responsibility and determination needed to get through the award to the gold level. We are all extremely proud of their achievements and congratulate them.'
