Duke of Edinburgh Award

Around the world, more than a million 14 - 24 year olds around the world are stepping outside their comfort zone. They’re learning to lead. They’re safely supporting their communities, getting active and gaining new skills. They’re discovering adventure and having fun. They’re participating in The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award.

Through the Award, young people can develop the crucial skills they need to navigate change, build resilience, and create positive habits. All while gaining an internationally recognized accreditation which is valued by governments, businesses and educational institutes around the world.

As a Duke of Edinburgh Award Centre, Stratford Hall can help students achieve their Bronze, Silver and Gold level awards. At Stratford Hall, the Duke of Edinburgh Award is integrated with Outdoor Experiential Education (OEE), Student Life, and Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS). This means that students can earn their Duke of Edinburgh Award while also participating in the curricular and co-curricular life of the school.
