Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme
The Duke of Edinburgh award has been part of the schools extra curricular activities for nearly twenty years. It has been very successful with many students following it through from Bronze to Gold award.
We have over 70 students participating in the Bronze award, which is started in Year 10. The Gold award has about 25 students starting it in Year 12 and many complete it by the end of Year 13. At all levels it requires commitment and determination, and the skills gained through completing the award, at any level, contribute to our vision in which all girls are supported and challenged as they grow in knowledge and confidence; enabling them to reach their full academic and personal potential.
Our expedition is run in conjunction with Borwick Hall Outdoor Education Centre. The Bronze expedition is based locally in the Silverdale, Arnside and Hutton Roof area. The Gold participants can choose between walking and canoeing and visit South and North Wales as well as Loch Tay in Scotland.
