Duke of Edinburgh Award

This year we once again launched The Duke of Edinburgh’s Bronze Award, with a cohort of 30 students signed up and raring to go.

Highly favoured by employers and universities alike, the award enables students to develop essential skills, set personal challenges and push boundaries, improve self-esteem, and build confidence, all whilst having fun with their peers.

So far this term, we have enjoyed fantastic engagement with sessions on map reading, cooking, and route planning in preparation for their hike, expedition, and overnight camp in the Peaks.

Our DofE class of 2021 completed their expedition in the summer and are now in the final stages of fulfilling the other sections of the award, including volunteering, learning a new skill, and engaging in physical activities.

We are incredibly proud of their determination throughout the award, and their display of resilience, problem solving, team working, communication and drive.
