The Duke of Edinburgh Award is an outstanding initiative aimed at 14 to 24 year olds.  It offers young people the opportunity to take part in a highly-regarded, challenging and fulfilling scheme which will not only benefit the awardees but their communities too. 

The Duke of Edinburgh Award was founded, and is patroned by Prince Phillip, The Duke of Edinburgh, in 1956.  During this time, the scheme has been dedicated to the personal development of young people from all backgrounds and is the widest reaching programme of any UK youth charity with 275,000 young people (30,000 are from disadvantaged backgrounds) taking part every year.   

Many pupils take part in The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.

Why do DofE?

Good question! Because, from the first day to the last it’s a real adventure.  Every section gives you something different - that's the fun of it! You’ll enjoy loads of new experiences, discover talents you never thought you had, challenge yourself and meet loads of people just like you.  Plus you’ll do things you love and get a kick out of it!

Then there’s all the other stuff:

• Achieving an award will give you skills, confidence and a view on life that everyone is looking for, from employers to colleges and universities.
• You'll be getting recognised for doing things you want to do (and may even be doing already).
• You’ll make a difference to other people’s lives and to your community, be fitter and healthier, make new friends and have memories to last you a lifetime.

And above all, it's great fun - the question should really be why wouldn't you bother?!
