Duke of Edinburgh’s Award

The Chalk Hills Academy offers our students a chance to participate in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) which develops young people for life and work. It helps them to fulfil their potential and have a brighter future. For many young people, the impact can be life-changing.

There are three progressive levels of programmes leading to a Bronze, Silver and Gold Award, students can start the DofE Award in Year 9 & 12.

Whatever they choose to do for their DofE, they’ll make friends for life, have amazing experiences and enhance their CV and college or university applications.

Students keep track of their progress and get their Awards approved by their Leaders through our online record keeping system, eDofE. The DofE Award is inclusive and for students with more complex needs, we will support them throughout.

To achieve their DofE Award at each level, students need to complete their own programme of activities in these four sections: Volunteering, Physical, Skills and Expedition (with an additional section for Gold: Residential).
