Duke of Edinburgh’s Award
D of E is incredibly popular at KES, with expeditions taking place from Easter to November. We currently have about 100 students in the Sixth Form working towards the five sections of the Gold Award: skill, service, physical recreation, residential and volunteering sections. It is undeniably hard work but totally worth it. At KES our kit store houses all of the tents, rucksacks and sleeping bags that you might need, as well as other bits and bobs, meaning that if you’re short on kit the only thing you will need is boots and clothes. We also don’t put a quota on how many people can get involved, so if you already have Silver you can start immediately! If you don’t, the Silver option is still available to you as a Sixth Former.
