We have been running Duke of Edinburgh Award here at the college since the early 1980’s, so we have a wealth of experience at our disposal.  The Award offers one of those life experiences that is both rewarding and character building.  We are very proud of our successes and even more proud of the student’s themselves.  Completing the Gold award is the pinnacle of the scheme and proves something about the qualities of the individual that is highly valued by employers and Higher Education.

All students who participate with us embark straight into the Gold Award.  Student’s who have never before done DofE, are entered as ‘Direct Gold’ whereas those that have already achieved their Silver award will be entered as standard Gold.  The only difference is that ‘Direct Gold’ participants need to do an extra six months on one of their sections.
