Churston Ferrers Grammar School Academy

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is an internationally recognised scheme providing accreditation for a self-directed programme, working with schools and other organisations across the UK. It gives opportunities to discover new interests and talents and for a participant to develop essential skills for life and work. It is also a well recognised mark of achievement, respected by employers and universities. HRH Prince Philip himself described it as a ‘do it yourself toolkit for life’.

Enrichment trips have long been a highly anticipated and memorable part of life at Churston. From subject specific day trips to cultural visits to European cities and adventurous overseas expeditions, we recognise the huge value that the experience of a school trip can bring. Self development through new experiences and challenges underpins the formation of lifelong memories.

The tutor curriculum, careers education and year 12 work experience all support our students to develop as individuals and prepare for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
