DofE

The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a prestigious international youth development program that challenges young people to develop life skills, engage in community service, and undertake adventurous expeditions. It offers three levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold, each requiring participants to complete a range of activities in categories such as physical fitness, skills development, volunteering, and outdoor exploration. The award aims to foster personal growth, resilience, and a sense of achievement in participants.

The Bronze and Silver cohorts will have their training day, practice expedition and qualifying expedition spread out over the school year. The Gold expedition will be supported by helping find the perfect activity and location.
