The Duke of Edinburgh Award

The Chase is very proud to be associated with the Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Award; that was set up by the late Prince Phillip in 1956. The DofE Award gives students the opportunity to gain new skills and interests, improve physical health as well as social and mental wellbeing; and build relationships with the community through volunteering. The DofE Award is highly recognised, as one of the most important non-academic accreditations for young people.  

At The Chase, we offer the DofE Bronze award in Year 9, Silver Award in Year 10, and Gold Award in Year 12.
