Duke of Edinburgh Awards

at Priory School

The various Duke of Edinburgh awards are excellent for building diverse skills (hard and soft skills) and gaining experience, as well as being hugely enjoyable and widely respected in education and the workplace.

Impact

The recent Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme ‘Impact Report 2024’ has further illustrated that young people who take part in the Award Scheme experience positive impacts on their wellbeing, skills development, community ties and physical activity. The report, which analyses data from 40,880 participants, shows statistically significant improvements in three specific wellbeing metrics:

  1. life satisfaction
  2. happiness
  3. feelings of doing things in life that are worthwhile

“
Being asked to take on the role after my father is a particular honour and quite a responsibility. Sustaining and enhancing what is arguably his greatest legacy around the world matters a great deal to me, as does pursuing The Award’s long-term ambition of universal access so that every eligible young person has the opportunity to participate.”
