The Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Award at Baylis Court School provides a balanced programme of activities that develop the whole person in an environment of social interaction and team working.

We offer opportunities for students to gain their Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards, application packs can be found in the packs attached at the bottom of this page. 

Please click here for some ideas to help you complete each section. These activities could take place in school as long as they are outside normal lessons. Activities you do outside of school could also count towards the different sections. Choose activities that motivate you and go on your own personal journey. 

 

Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award

Timescale

The Physical, Skills and Volunteering sections must be undertaken once a week, with two of these sections to be completed over three months, and one over six months. Although students will be assisted in selecting appropriate activities and monitored throughout the delivery of the Award, completion of these sections will primarily be the responsibility of the students taking part.

Commitment & Cost

Although students will have regular meetings with our DofE Manager to receive support, we would like to remind you that, as this is an extra-curricular activity, we expect students, as well as parents / carers, to ensure that the different sections are completed and they are done so on time.
