EIGHTY-four students have been presented with Duke Of Edinburgh Awards in a special ceremony.

The Caistor Grammar School pupils have all achieved silver and bronze awards in the past year.

Gold awards have already been presented to David Sadler, Jack Wolseley and Chris Hoare.

Guest of honour was former athlete and Olympic silver medallistPhil Brown, who presented the students with their awards in his role as director for the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme in Central England.

He told the students: "Young people have so much potential and the award scheme provides a framework to bring the best out of them.

"It helps develop many human qualities."

He urged the students to use the skills obtained to work hard.

"Life is all about achieving goals such as this," he added.

Devon Hill, from North Kelsey, who received a silver award, said: "I really enjoyed the expedition work we did as a group in the Wolds and in the Peak District. We bonded well together."

Silver winner James Travis said: "Duke of Edinburgh brought us all together and helped us develop and learn new activities."

Both these students will now be progressing to gold award.
