From KS4 students at Critchill School can access a DofE programme and we currently offer both Bronze and Silver Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards.

There are four sections to complete at Bronze and Silver level.

• Helping the community/environment
• Becoming fitter
• Developing new skills
• Planning & training and completing an expedition

Any young person can do their DofE regardless of ability, gender or background. Achieving an Award isn’t a competition or about being first. It’s all about setting personal challenges and pushing personal boundaries.

The Duke of Edinburgh Awards are:

• A life-changing experience
• A fun time with friends
• An opportunity to discover new interests and talents
• A tool to develop essential skills for life and work
• A recognised mark of achievement; respected by employers
