The Duke of Edinburgh Award has been operating at Alcester High School for 10 years. Most entrants start their Bronze Award during Year 9 and many go on to do the Silver Award in Years 10 and 11.
There are 4 sections to the Award:
- Service
- Skills
- Physical Recreation
- Expedition
At the Bronze level, the
first 3 sections take a minimum of 6 months to complete, although you don't
have to spend this long on all of them. Students can choose from a huge range
of things to do, so they are bound to find something they enjoy.
The Expedition involves a number of training and planning sessions. The actual practice and assessed expeditions involve spending 2 nights under canvas and walking 15 miles carrying tents and equipment. The Cotswolds, Lake District and the Peak District are some of our favourite destinations.
