Well done to those who have managed to continue with their physical, volunteering and skills sections despite lockdown. Do please keep logging your hours and recording evidence. Some pupils have even signed off sections, a fantastic effort!
If you haven’t started, you should consider utilising the DofE temporary changes. DofE have provided additional options so that you can complete your award despite the pandemic.

In addition to the email sent to pupils and parents with full details, further resources can be found on MySchoolPortal.
Expedition Update
Following the Government announcement on 22 February we are working on a plan for the expedition element of the award. Please keep an eye on your emails, I will contact pupils and parents directly next week with further information.
It is also looking very likely that we will use the Option 2 expedition plan where pupils complete local day walks rather than overnight camping for the bronze and silver practice trips. The gold practice will be postponed until the June qualifying dates.
Well done for your continued efforts to complete your award, my priority remains to provide the best possible DofE expedition experience for pupils.

Head of Outdoor Education – DofE Manager
