Our 9/10 Duke of Ed class has started their volunteering – community services component of the award, creating positive outdoor spaces in our school environment. This week they re-designed the area outside the IT room into a comfortable, quiet space for years 7-10, installing seating and a new garden. A great effort by all.

What is Duke of Ed?

We aim to provide ALL young people with the opportunity to uncover their purpose, passion and place in the world to become #WORLDREADY.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award (the Duke of Ed) is the global leader in the organising and accrediting of non-formal education through its flagship ‘Duke of Ed Framework’. For over 60 years, this Framework has been used by education providers and community organisations to accredit the non-formal learning outcomes and achievements of young people. Young people are at the heart of everything we do. Our role is to empower young people, and our partner organisations and volunteers are fundamental to this.
