Duke of Edinburgh
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is a highly regarded national scheme. It is open to all young people between the ages of 14 and 24 and offers participants the opportunity to become involved in lots of exciting activities. The Award comprises of four sections:
- Volunteering
- Skill
- Physical
- Expedition.
There are three levels of award: Bronze, Silver and Gold.
The award aims to encourage participants to learn new skills, improve themselves and their community. Furthermore, it will challenge young people and take them out of their comfort zone.
On completion of the award, participants receive a certificate which is highly regarded by both employers and further education providers.
Mrs Baker is the Duke of Edinburgh Award Manager here at the Academy and we work with JC Adventures as our training partners to provide all the training and support for the expedition. Participants complete practice expeditions and training sessions to ensure they are ready for their self-supported adventure. They must plan, walk and navigate a route, as well as demonstrating good camp-craft skills.
