Duke of Edinburgh Award

Marshland High School offers the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award at Bronze, Silver and Gold award levels. We particularly focus on the DofE’s ethos of individual development by personal challenge.

At school we offer DofE as an extra curricular activity and as a Key Stage 4 curriculum choice, with both groups far exceeding the national and county statistics for award completion.

Volunteering Section

Over the years students have completed this section by working with various organisations and groups such as Girlguiding UK, Scout Association, Youth Football Clubs, Charity Shops, Primary Schools, Museums, Youth Groups and Old Peoples residential homes.

One project in partnership with Norfolk Fire & Rescue Service saw participants short-listed for the 2010 Bernard Matthews Youth Awards. The group performed home fire risk checks on over 150 houses belonging to friends or family.
