The Duke of Edinburgh Programme (DofE)
- Pupils in Year 10 are given the opportunity to complete the Bronze DofE programme.
- A Bronze DofE programme has 4 sections: Volunteering, Physical, Skills and Expedition.
- You must do a minimum of 3 months activity for each of the Volunteering, Physical and Skills sections.
- You also have to spend an extra three months on one of the Volunteering, Physical or Skills sections. It’s your choice which one and, though you can change your mind later, you should decide which section you want to do for longer at the beginning. Knowing how long you’re going to do it for will help you to choose your activity and set your goals for each section.
- You will also attend planning and training sessions to prepare for your 2 day (1 night) expedition. You will have the opportunity to complete a practice expedition before your final trip.
- If you would like to find out more about joining the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme – contact Mr Halstead or Mr Ventress or simply follow this link www.dofe.org
