Duke of Edinburgh Awards
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is a highly valued and well-respected award among employers, colleges and universities. Students develop a range of skills and qualities when participating in the award through the completion of an expedition and committing to a volunteering activity, a physical activity and a skill activity in their own time. They will develop skills such as leadership, problem solving and team work skills.
We run the DofE award at all three levels at Lutterworth College (Bronze, Silver and Gold). Students need to be in year 9 to complete the Bronze level, year 10 or 11 for the Silver level and year 12 for the Gold level. Students at each level usually complete an expedition training program led by Lutterworth College staff.
Students receive further support in completing their other sections of the award (skill, physical and volunteer). Gold participants also need to complete a residential section.
If you would like to enrol your child onto the DofE award please see the relevant level information below. If you have any further questions about the DofE award at Lutterworth College, please contact Mr Bailey at c.bailey@lutterworthcollege.com
