Be part of it!
Introduction to Duke of Edinburgh Award
This year pupils in year's 9 have the opportunity to be part of the prestigious Duke of Edinburgh's Award. If you work hard enough to pass the award, it will go in your record of achievement and is recognised by Colleges and Universities.
A DofE programme is a real adventure from beginning to end. It doesn't matter who you are or where you're from. You just need to be in year 9 and realise there's more to life than sitting on a sofa watching life pass you by.
You'll enjoy loads of new experiences, discover talents you never thought you had, challenge yourself and meet loads of people just like you. Plus you'll do things you love and get a kick out of. It's a real buzz!
Then there's all the other stuff…
- ...achieving an Award will give you skills, confidence and a view on life that everyone is looking for, from employers to colleges and universities.
- ...you're getting recognised for doing things you want to do (and may even be doing already).
- ...you'll make a difference to other people's lives and your community, be fitter and healthier, make new friends and have memories to last you a lifetime.
- ...and above all, it's a great laugh - the question should really be why wouldn't you bother?
