The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award programmes provide girls with exciting and challenging opportunities to develop existing talents, learn new skills, increase fitness levels and build self-confidence, independence and leadership ability.

Girls from age 14 can follow a balanced programme at one of three levels which lead, if successful, to a Duke of Edinburgh’s Bronze, Silver or Gold Award. Four sections are completed at Bronze and Silver level; at Gold level the girls must complete an additional fifth residential section.
