"Duke of Edinburgh is recognised across the country, it's an award that will give you more to offer to future education and jobs. "You need to be determined, dedicated and passionate, and in turn you will get so much more out from the Award."
Mr Gemmell Duke of Edinburgh's Award Coordinator Manchester Academy
The Duke of Edinburgh Award, 2014
Braving the weather, 28 Year 10 students had a fabulous time at Ghyll Head from Friday, 3rd February until Sunday, 5th February as part of their training for the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
20 Sixth Form students intrepidly set out to complete their practice expedition in the Peak District on Monday 23rd to Tuesday 24th May 2011. They travelled for 6 hours each day (considerably longer for some groups!) and camped overnight in Pomeroy, near Buxton.
Congratulations to the dozen Year 11 students who took part in their Silver Practice expedition from Saturday, 9th April to Monday, 11th April, 2011.
The students that took part were a mix of Year 12 and Year 13. All of them are working towards their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award.
A new initiative in the Sixth Form this year is the introduction of the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. Students have started their year with a trip to Ghyll Head OEC, where they relished learning map reading skills and enjoying the beautiful Lake District countryside.
