Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award:
This is a nationally recognised award that represents students' commitment, determination and good teamwork. It is very valuable for students to obtain and will help them in the future when applying for colleges, universities or employment. Students are able to work towards the award during their Year 10 at St. Paul's Way.

The award is split into four sections: Skill, Practical, Service and Expedition:

• For the Skill section, students learn how to do, or pursue an interest in a valuable skill such as music, drama or photography.

• The Practical section is completed through students joining the various sports clubs within School.

• For the Service section, students have to carry out twelve hours of work within the community, at youth centres, city farms, religious organisations and primary schools, for example. They can also help to coach younger pupils in School through working with members of the PE staff in sports clubs.

• Students are assessed for the Expedition section during a week in Wales in February/March. They have to work in groups to complete a fifteen mile walk over two days with an overnight camp. The group does a practice and an assessed expedition during their week to complete the expedition section.

Twelve committed and reliable pupils are selected each year to do the Award. The 2006/2007 Year 10 group are already working towards their Award and are expected to pass in Summer 2007.
