Duke of Edinburgh

Doing the Duke of Edinburgh Award at Great Yarmouth Charter Academy

We are delighted to be able to offer the Duke of Edinburgh Award Programmed at Charter.

From Year 9, pupils can enrol at Bronze Level, and complete all four sections with the support of a dedicated team of staff.  Pupils are able to access in-house school activities to complete their volunteering, physical and skills sections.  In addition to this, we run training and practice for the expedition, and the qualifying expedition itself.

The school supports pupils by providing all the necessary expedition equipment and has access to some funding for additional costs where needed.

Pupils can develop their skills outside of school too, and we are building links with community groups which can enable pupils to participate in a range of activities.

Beyond the Bronze Award, Charter offers a progression route to Silver and in partnership with other local providers, to Gold too.

It is a fully inclusive programme - all we ask for is commitment!
