Luke Walker Awarded Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award at Buck
A massive well done to Luke Walker who is currently completing his A level examinations at Harton 6th form on receiving his Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award at Buckingham Palace recently.

Ecuador expedition training in North Yorkshire
Seven Harton year 13 students and one member of staff will soon be heading on a trip of a lifetime when they travel for a monthlong expedition to Ecuador in July 2017.

The feedback from the staff involved was impressive and the group really came together and had a laugh during a number of different games and activities in beautifu...
