For students with a passion for adventure

Discover opportunities to explore positive, challenging and enjoyable activities, with our popular Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) programme.

Reflecting our adventurous spirit, Kimbolton School is a Directly Licensed Centre (DLC) for the DofE Awards. In Sixth Form, we offer the Gold Award and our co-curricular activities and focus on service fit well with the DofE Award sections:

Volunteering – giving help in your local community.

Skills – covering nearly every hobby, skill or interest.
Expedition – training for and completing a journey on foot or horseback, by boat or cycle.
Physical – sport, dance or fitness .
Gold Award Residential – five or more days and four nights on a purposeful project with new companions.

“The DoE Gold Award is prestigious and valued by influential people, universities and employers; it is not known as the Golden A Level for nothing!  ” Mr Tony Lucas, DofE Manager
