Duke of Edinburgh Award

DUKE OF EDINBURGH BRONZE AWARD

We are excited to offer our Year 10 students the opportunity to work towards the Duke of Edinburgh (D of E) Bronze Award.  This is an excellent scheme which improves independence, health, fitness, awareness of, and involvement with their community and increases their sense of adventure whilst equipping them with the skills to satisfy it.

There are four sections which make up the Bronze Award; one of which is the expedition which most people associate with the D of E awards.  This involves training and preparation for a two-day, one night walking expedition that the students work in groups to plan a route to follow. They carry their own tent, sleeping bag, cooker and food, and follow their own route with distant supervision from a qualified Assessor.  The training for this section will start in November 2024.

The other three sections are Skills, Physical and Volunteering.  The students must commit approximately one hour per week for three months towards evidencing all three sections, and six months for one section (of their own choosing).  These may be something they already do or may be something they start because of the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Two of these should be completed before their Practice Expedition, and the last one before their Qualifying Expedition.
