Duke of Edinburgh Award
The High School has been involved in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme for many years. The school is a recognised DofE Operating Authority and runs the award at all levels
The school offer participants the opportunity to complete the Duke of Edinburgh Award by providing support for the Volunteering, Skills, Physical, Residential (Gold only) and Expedition sections. We passionately believe in the pupils' taking ownership of their award and are delighted at the number of pupils who complete their Gold Award before leaving school.
