We have recently launched our programme for the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE).
Doing DofE is a brilliant way for our students to discover just how much they are capable of. It gives young people the chance to make new friends, follow their passions, learn new skills and make a difference in our community. Gaining a DofE Award is a great way to impress employers too.
It’s also non-competitive and a powerful way for every young person to build belief in themselves, whatever their background, interests and abilities.
Our students will be undertaking the bronze award, whereby students need to complete four sections – Volunteering, Physical, Skills and the Expedition; many of these areas will be covered in our extensive curriculum.
The Expedition involves spending two days and one night in the countryside, and again, we’ll make sure that our young people are fully prepared for it (this will take place in the summer term).
