Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme
The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is offered to all boys in Year 3 and above as part of their voluntary and leisure time activities, both at school and at home.
About a quarter of our boys enrol for the Silver Award, and many of these continue towards the Gold Award in the Sixth Form. Each boy chooses to follow his own programme from the wide range of activities (skills, services to the community, physical education, expeditions) available within the school, locally in the town, and further afield. More time is required than is available during the Activities afternoons, but with suitable use of evenings, weekends, and holidays, many boys succeed in achieving their Award and at the same time, helping others and developing their own character and team skills.
Their service section often helps to create or maintain important links between the school and the local community.
