Enrichment Activities
Show all activitiesTaking part in a DofE journey will give you skills, confidence, and something to talk about when you apply for college, university or a job. Beyond your academic achievements, universities want to see evidence of “soft skills” that you have developed through extra-curricular activities, such as communication, commitment, leadership and teamwork. Your DofE Award is a fantastic way to demonstrate and evidence these skills in practice.
Young people don’t have to try and save the world on their own. Taking small positive actions to improve your home, school or local community can all make a big difference. Put simply - A social action project is about people coming together to help improve their lives and solve problems that are facing their communities.
Students have four weeks to research, create, plan and run their own business with a £10 pledge. A highly interactive programme offering first-hand experience to enhance confidence and enterprising mindsets.
An opportunity to gain a basic understanding of British Sign Language and to develop your non-verbal communication skills.
A residential team building trip to Farchynys in Wales. Located on the banks of the estuary near Barmouth, this is the perfect opportunity to build leadership, resilience and problem solving skills.
