DofE at CHSFG

Here’s our brand new video to show our students what @DofE is all about - just in time for the Bronze DofE launch with Year 9 next week! @DofELondon

Now THAT is a tidy kit cupboard! We’re ready for our Bronze DofE-ers to collect their kit next week - and for what looks like a bumper group next year, based on the applications from Year 9…

All groups home safe and sound for our Silver Qualifying @DofE - well done all!

Sunset time at the beach 🌅

All our groups have arrived at camp already after an early start - now time for some chill out on the beach ☀️☀️☀️

Spot our Blue Group on the footpath to the second checkpoint…! 🥾☀️😎

Last week’s government announcement on youth work funding for 2025/26 included a commitment to expanding funding to trusted groups, including the DofE – this means we can work towards giving more young people the opportunity to take part in a life-changing DofE programme.

What a perfect evening to be out in the countryside with friends!

All four groups in, in excellent time! Well done to all our Silver groups - a great job so far for day one! 🥾🥾🥾

Off we go again! Silvers out on our Qualifying @DofE expedition - looking forward to getting some sea air! 🌊☀️

Miss Mackintosh and Mrs French were at Buckingham Palace this morning with HRH the Duke of Edinburgh in attendance, to celebrate all things DofE in our schools. Congratulations to Miss Mackintosh who leads so brilliantly on this important area of our school life.

We’re so excited to be heading to the @DofE Gold Award presentation at Buckingham Palace this morning - and what a morning for it!
