HomeStudent AreaDuke of Edinburgh Award Duke of Edinburgh Award The DofE is a nationally recognised award designed to increase confidence, develop outdoors skills and give pupils an edge in their future prospects whether applying for colleges, apprenticeships, university or seeking employment. It is commonly cited as helping to increase self-confidence, improve a sense of responsibility and enhance teamwork skills. The award consists of three levels: bronze, silver and gold. Each level comprises activities in volunteering, physical, skills and a final expedition. Each section of the award must be completed outside of the normal curriculum and guidance will be given to support pupils in their selection of activities evidencing of completion. Training for the final expedition will be in the form of workshop sessions and practice walks in teams of up to seven pupils. They will learn to navigate, plan routes and work as a team to plan for the successful completion of a two-day expedition. St George will initially be offering the Bronze Award for Key Stage 4 pupils (Year 9 and 10).
