Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Update

This term, Duke of Edinburgh Silver students have all had their individual progress meeting with a member of DofE staff to check in on their progress, and we are currently going through the same process with our Bronze students (which there are so many of) over the next few weeks.

Bronze students have received training this week on how to do this and Silver students will be well practised in this from last year. It is these assessor reports which will gain ‘DofE'ers’ their awards so please help us in reminding your child to upload these.
