Duke of Edinburgh’s Award
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is the largest achievement award for Young People in the world. It is a challenging programme of activities which will encourage you to learn new skills, help others, experience adventure and a sense of achievement. What's more, universities and employers hold the Award in high regard and recognise what it says about the person who achieved it.
The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is an exceptionally popular enrichment activity at Walton High and is available for all students from year 9 to Post 16.
Information on meetings, deadlines and activities is updated regularly through the DofE page on firefly. If a student is enrolled on to an Award, they are encouraged to book mark the page relevant to Award level to receive notifications of updates. Alternatively, the DofE charity’s own page can be found at http://www.dofe.org/
All planning and training sessions are mandatory and you will be removed from the programme if you do not attend.
