Our Senior School pupils have completed an incredible 2548 volunteering hours this year as part of their Duke of Edinburgh awards.
Presented with our official ‘Duke of Edinburgh Youth Without Limits’ certificate by Ruth Marvel OBE, Chief Executive of Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Awards, the total social value of these hours totalled an incredible £16,306.
From hosting coffee mornings, tending the Framlingham Community Garden, delivering food bank hampers, working charity shop shifts, litter picking, community dog walking and more – volunteering at Framlingham showcases the kindness, compassion and dedication of our school community.
The DofE programme at Framlingham College is one of our greatest strengths and plays an intrinsic part in the co-curricular programme to develop key life skills, equipping our pupils with the knowledge, confidence and empowerment to take on their adult world, reach their full potential and make a positive impact on society.
Our Director of Outdoor Education and DofE Awards Manager, Martin Myers-Allen, said: “One of the many legacies left by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh continues to be this inspirational youth organisation. We are one of the most successful advocates of DofE, over 6,000 pupils at Framlingham College have achieved either Bronze, Silver or Gold Awards, and we are determined to remain in that position for years to come.”
