Duke of Edinburgh
Robert May’s School runs the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award for Year 9 and the Silver
Award for Year 10 students. Students are engaged in volunteering, physical and skill
development with the completion of an expedition in the Summer Term.
Over 120 students participate in the Bronze and Silver Awards with a wide range of
activities including dancing at National level, sign language, cooking, sports coaching
and volunteering positions within the school.
The training for the expedition involves learning and practising all of the necessary
skills including:
• Expedition confidence (bag packing / menu planning)
• Map and compass proficiency
• Campcraft (tent pitching / cooking)
• First Aid and emergency procedures including the countryside code
• A practice expedition for Silver and practice walks for Bronze.
