Duke of Edinburgh

The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a nationally and internationally recognised award, favoured by universities and employers alike.

It is extremely popular with our students, pushing their boundaries, gaining new skills and enhancing their CVs and university applications. They grow as individuals, building confidence, independence, responsibility, dedication and commitment.

The students achieve an award by completing a personal programme of activities in four sections:

  1. Volunteering: undertaking service to individuals or the community

  2. Physical: improving in an area of sport, dance or fitness activities

  3. Skills: developing practical and social skills and personal interests

  4. Expedition: planning, training for and completion of an adventurous journey in the UK or abroad.
