The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is a voluntary, non-competitive programme of activities for young people. It is a recognition of a young person’s successful journey of self-discovery and development, renowned by employers and universities alike for the qualities young people have who've achieved a DofE Award. Its balanced programme develops the whole person - mind, body and soul, in an environment of social interaction and teamwork.

We are very proud of the continued success of our students on the programme, and more information about their many achievements will appear on this page shortly. Our DofE programme is co-ordinated by Miss Emily Weston, an experienced outdoor instructor and PE Teacher, who can be contacted for more information by clicking here.

There are three progressive levels of DofE programmes which, when successfully completed, lead to a Bronze, Silver or Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award. The Corsham School offers students in years 9 – 13 a DofE programme at all three award levels:

Bronze (Year 9 onwards)

Volunteering	Physical	Skills	Expedition
Three months	Three months	Three months	Plan, train for and undertake a two-day, one night expedition
All participants must undertake a further three months in the Volunteering, Physical or Skills sections.

Silver (Year 10 onwards)

Volunteering	Physical	Skills	Expedition
Six months	One section for six months and the other section for three months		Plan, train for and undertake a three-day, two-night expedition
Direct entrants must undertake a further six months in either the Volunteering or the longer of the Physical or Skills sections.

Gold (Year 11 onwards)

Volunteering	Physical	Skills	Expedition	Residential
Twelve months	One section for twelve months and the other section for six months		Plan, train for and undertake a four-day, three-night expedition	Undertake a shared activity in a residential setting away from home for five days and four nights.

Expeditions

Entrants will need to complete an expedition at each stage of the award:

Level	Duration	Minimum hours of planned activity each day
BRONZE	Two days and one night	At least six hours during the daytime (three of which must be spent travelling)
SILVER	Three days and two nights	At least seven hours during the daytime (three and a half of which must be spent travelling)
GOLD	Four days and three nights	At least eight hours during the daytime (four of which must be spent travelling)

 

Every year, The Corsham School gives students the chance to take part in a World Challenge expedition. World Challenge is a leading provider of overseas adventure travel programs for students aged 15-18. Founded in 1987, the company offers transformative travel experiences that complement school learning, fostering personal growth, global citizenship, and cultural literacy. Students participate in expeditions that range from 10–30 days, where they take on leadership roles, manage budgets, and engage with local communities.

We visit various far-flung corners of the globe, giving students the chance to immerse themselves in different cultures and learn about themselves in the vastly differing surroundings of South America, Africa and Asia. Previous World Challenge expeditions have seen our students visit the following countries:

2010 - Peru

2011 - Iceland

2012 - Bolivia

2013 - Morocco
