Sign up now for Duke of Edinburgh 2026-27
Through our Duke of Edinburgh programme, our students have fun, make friends, improve their self-esteem and build confidence. They gain essential skills for work and life, such as resilience, problem-solving, team-working, drive and communication, which enhance their CVs and university and job applications.
Students can sign up to take on the challenge of the Bronze Award in Year 9, the Silver Award from Year 10 and in 6th Form, students can take on the Duke of Edinburgh Award at Gold level.
Students wishing to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award this year, can now sign up!
Inspiration
When completing each section of your DofE, you should develop a programme which is specific and relevant to you. DofE have prepared a sheet which gives you a list of programme ideas that you could do. You can use it as a starting point to create a programme of your own.

Kick-off Meetings 2026
Our DofE Leader, Mrs Williams, hosted Kick-Off Meetings in September, so students and their parents / carers could find out more about the Awards and what is involved before signing up to take part.
They were held on Wednesday, 23rd September 2026, and the presentations from the evening are linked at the bottom of this page.
Pupil Premium students are offered a discount to help with costs. Please email Mrs Williams: dofe@rugbyhighschool.co.uk
