Alleyn’s Senior School Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Co-ordinator Mr Alldrick visited Year 6 in the Junior School earlier this week to listen to the children talk about their Junior Duke challenges and tell them about what they might have in store with the DofE Award in the Senior School.
The Junior Duke is an award scheme for primary-aged children which, like the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme, encourages and develops valuable life skills. Mr Alldrick was impressed with the Junior School pupils’ level of commitment, their original ideas for their challenges and the enthusiasm they showed towards the scheme.
As well as expressing what they are enjoying about the Junior Duke, the children were also able to hear from Mr Alldrick all about the exciting challenges the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme might offer them in just a few years' time!
The next Alleyn's Junior School Open Event is from 1.30pm to 3pm on Wednesday 22 May 2024. There will be a Head's Talk at 1.40pm after which you will be offered a tour of the school with a pupil. There is no need to book a place at this Open Event - everyone is welcome.
