Duke of Edinburgh Awards

Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme
The scheme is very popular among our students, so much so that the school has become an awarding body. Every summer and autumn, scores of our students can be found trekking across the wonderful British countryside.
Three levels of award exist; namely, Bronze (aged 14+); Silver (aged 15+); and Gold (aged 16+). Further details, including the enrolment forms and training modules can be found on our associated submenu pages of this website.
Should you require additional information please contact the school and see the Training and Expedition Handbooks book below.
