Students in the Sixth Form participate in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme. There are four sections to the award - Skill, Physical, Volunteering and Expedition. It has helped our students to improve their confidence, expand their skill set, improve their ability to work as part of a team and gain resilience which will help them in later life as well as improve their chances of moving forwards in education and employment.
