DofE is the world’s leading youth achievement award, offering pupils the opportunity for adventure and challenge, as well as a valuable qualification once completed. At Cranford, we are proud to run Bronze and Silver Awards in our Senior School. Sixth Formers willing to take the next step can set their sights on taking part in the Gold Award.
Our exciting DofE programme provides pupils with the opportunity to develop new skills, build self-confidence, challenge themselves and realise a sense of pride and achievement. Over 80% of pupils in Key Stage 4 complete the DofE scheme and our experienced DofE and activities co-ordinators are there to support them every step of the way.
Whilst we have a successful track record of working with external providers, we are proud that Cranford School is now a directly licensed centre for DofE, meaning we are qualified to run our own DofE expeditions & awards.
Release the entrepreneur in your child through the School Enterprise Business Challenge! This exciting Senior School activity provides pupils in Years 9-10 with the opportunity to test their ideas and business skills as they set up and run an active business model within the school. This is particularly suitable for Business Studies GCSE students. This is a flexible activity and will work around other clubs.
