Duke of Edinburgh Award

Harris Academy Riverside is currently supporting selected students towards their Bronze Awards.

At Harris Riverside Academy, we are proud to offer students the opportunity to take part in the Bronze Award. We support our participants every step of the way, from helping them choose their activities to preparing them for the expedition and guiding them through to successful completion. Each year,  14 students in year 9 are selected through an application process to join the programme, ensuring we can provide personalised support and maximise each student’s chances of success. We are proud of the continued success of our students who have completed the Bronze Award in previous years, demonstrating commitment and determination throughout. This is an exciting opportunity for students to challenge themselves, grow as individuals, and gain an award recognised by colleges, universities, and employers across the country.

What is DofE?

DofE gives students opportunities to experience and explore outdoor places that are on their doorsteps. Students will learn life skills, how to survive in the outdoors, how to map-read and how to work in a team in order to successfully complete challenges. They will learn how to cook basic meals, keeping themselves safe and healthy in the outdoors. 

In order to complete the award our students undertake a series of challenges. They are asked to complete three sections in a set period of time. The three sections are Physical, Skill and Volunteering. 

Physical section requires students to take part in an extra-curricular sporting club whether that be in or outside of the academy. This could be anything from joining a Rugby club to doing work-outs from home.

Skill section requires students to learn a new skill. This could be anything from learning how to do calligraphy to learning a new language. 

Volunteering section requires students to volunteer their services in order to support others. This could be something as easy as helping with Year 7 netball club to volunteering for an animal shelter or volunteering at a club within the academy.

Once students have completed these sections in the time period chosen, they will be invited to complete their award by embarking on the Expedition section of the process. Students will need to complete a practice expedition and an assessed expedition on two separate occasions.

How to complete an assessors report:

DofE HARI Booklet:

Students will be given a copy of the below booklet; it is very important they bring this to every DofE meeting as we will be signing it. They also must ask their assessor to sign their diaries after every session.
