The DofE Award is a long standing, highly regarded and widely recognised qualification for young people in the UK and elsewhere in the world. The DofE participant is challenged to succeed in a number of different areas; the 4 sections of the DofE Bronze Award are: Physical, Skill, Volunteering and Expedition. For the first three sections, one must be undertaken regularly for 6 months whilst the remaining two are for 3 months each. For those choosing it in Y10 or Y12, our DofE programme is run as part of the school timetable with the staff organising the activities for each section and maintaining the evidence required by each participant to demonstrate the progress made towards achieving their award. The DofE Award is an individual programme, and as such the expectations for each section should be tailored to meet a participant's capabilities.
