Luckley House School is very pleased to be able to offer the DofE to all our pupils as a directly licensed centre. Here you will find lots of information and links to resources to help both participants and parents.

Bronze AwardTimescaleThe Physical, Skills and Volunteering sections must be undertaken once a week, with two of these sections to be completed over three months, and one over six months.

The training and preparation for the Expedition section is covered in our weekly meetings throughout the year during the extended day sessions. The other sections (Skill, Physical and Volunteering) must be done in the participant’s own time, either in the evenings/weekends or lunchtime/extended day at school. Participants may choose what they would like to do and will discuss this with their Leader but here are some ideas. DofE-programme-ideas
Each section must have an assessor who will monitor the progress and sign it off at the end. This cannot be an immediate family member and must be an adult. Please see the Assessor guide page. Assessor-Guidance
