Emma Watson

XP East Year 9 students showed excellent focus and engagement during today’s DofE Skills session as they painted their model figures. The calm, purposeful atmosphere allowed students to concentrate, develop fine-detail techniques, and take pride in their work.

This creative activity supported key DofE skills such as patience, resilience, and self-motivation, with students demonstrating real commitment throughout the session.
