The Duke of Edinburgh Award has been running at Greenfield School since 2007 and in recent years, has become a licenced centre to run the scheme. The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme is offered to all learners in their fourteenth year and above and is entirely inclusive.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is a voluntary, non-competitive programme of activities for anyone aged 14 – 24. There are three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. The award has allowed learners the opportunity to experience new activities and to develop their confidence, knowledge and practical skills. The required sections include volunteering, physical, skills and an expedition. The expedition involves planning, training for and completing an adventurous journey, including overnight camping. Those learners who do not complete the expedition section, are able to celebrate and be certificated for the skills sections they have completed. The expeditions have taken place in the lowland Brecon Beacons, Gower and Pembrokeshire. The staff who lead expeditions must have achieved the Lowland Leader qualification, accredited by Mountain Training. In 2024, we were delighted to announce that Regan Jones became Greenfield’s first Gold Award holder.
