Duke of Edinburgh’s Award T
his past year has seen one of the most exciting Duke of
Edinburgh’s Award programme at Sibford School ever ... with 42 pupils gaining their Bronze award (compared with 16 in 2016-17). In addition we have also seen the successful completion of one Silver award and two Gold awards.
For the Bronze and Silver award, participants have to complete four sections: Volunteering, Physical, Skills and the ever popular Expedition. In addition to these, Gold candidates also have to complete a fifth section, Residential, whereby they have to stay and work away from home doing a shared activity.
Volunteering gives students the chance to offer something back to the community and this year has seen a range of activities including teaching music, litter picking, running after school clubs and helping in a care home.

Physical activities have included aerial gymnastics, ballet, cycling, swimming, running and kayaking. ‘Skills’, meanwhile, have included singing, cooking, fly fishing, bell ringing and marine biology.
We witnessed some extreme contrasts in the Expedition section ... students undertaking their Silver practice expedition in the Spring woke up to snow covered tents ... while during their assessed expedition in June they had to cope with unseasonable heatwave temperatures!
Our Gold candidates did two very different activities for their Residential: Tom spent a week working under the guidance of NASA astronauts, NASA personnel, rocket scientists and world-renowned professors. Oli, meanwhile, attended a cookery course.
