Personal development with DofE Awards
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is a nationally recognised personal development scheme that involves students in a non-competitive programme of activities encouraging young people to undertake exciting, constructive, challenging and enjoyable activities in their free time.
Community service and skills development
The programme includes a community service activity, such as a gardening programme, as well as a team expedition on foot, bicycle, canoe or horseback. The scheme also aims to encourage students to pursue an individual skill and physical activity such as sports, dance, music, photography, computing or fitness.
Bronze and Silver Awards success
Around 60 students each year achieve the Bronze Award at THS and many then go on to complete the Silver Award during their time at school.
The Award is run jointly in school by Mr Wright-Stainton, along with many other members of staff support the students in their chosen challenges and on the expeditions.
With organisation and commitment, we have no doubt all students will find the DofE Award challenging, fun and highly rewarding.
