Studley High School has been awarded the Duke of Edinburgh Licensed Organisation certificate after successfully applying to the scheme. After a restructuring of the DofE organisation, school are now able to run their own scheme, which will lead to quicker certification and allows us more autonomy with how the course is designed.
As a school, our DofE is run through Venture Outdoors and James Vann. We have 30 Year 9 students completing the Bronze Award and 8 Year 10 students completing the Silver Awards.
The DofE award challenges pupils to achieve 4 key areas: Volunteering in the local community; Learning a new skill; Getting involved in physical activity and performing an expedition where they create their own route and carry the equipment they need to camp overnight and cook their own food.
