Learn more about our pastoral care, and how we support our pupils
The Duke of Edinburgh Award encourages pupils to become healthy, independent, responsible citizens through the programme which recognises their development in a skill, a physical activity, and helping others by volunteering. The culmination of the award is an expedition.
The outdoor environment provides significant opportunities for the development of listening skills, leadership, team working and communicating effectively which are competencies that are essential for pupils’ future independence, employability and happiness. The outdoor environment is also beneficial to building maturity, sound mental health and social integration.
Pupils begin with the Bronze Award in Year 9, progressing to the Silver Award in Year 10, and completing the prestigious Gold Award in Sixth Form.
