It was a big moment for recent alumnae Charlie, Maya, Holly and Bella this week as they joined a host of stars for a garden party at Buckingham Palace to celebrate their Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards.

The girls and their families were hosted by HRH Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, alongside inspirational guests and speakers such as Paralympian Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, who is the new Chair of Trustees of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.

The girls, some of whom completed their Gold Award with an expedition canoeing down the rivers in Sweden, enjoyed afternoon tea with entertainment from two of the Royal Military bands. A great way to celebrate their achievements. Well done, girls!
