Duke of Edinburgh

We have a very well-established Duke of Edinburgh Award programme at Rodborough and offer both the Bronze and Silver awards to students.

In year 9 we begin Bronze, which is largely completed by the end of Year 10. Students complete a thorough Training course in school, on Friday evenings and over a weekend, followed by a qualifying expedition in the Surrey Hills - with involve one night camping and two days walking.

In year 11 students complete the Silver Award. Typically we travel to the New Forest to complete a practice expedition in October, followed by a qualifier in July - once the GCSE exams are safely out of the way.
