A message to Parents and Carers We hope that this presentation will give you an idea of the commitment that your sons and daughters will be making, over and above their school work and other activities, when they undertake the Bronze DofE Award. Staff in Hyndland Secondary offer substantial training and support to help participants through their Bronze DofE Award, however participants must also assume personal responsibility by attending training, undertaking and keeping a log of activities and obtaining Assessor’s Reports. We would urge you to log on to www.DofE.org for a full overview of what is involved in the Bronze DofE Award, in order to have an informed discussion with your son or daughter before they enrol.

  9. Carrying out a DofE Award Costs Money We would like you to be aware of the costs involved when your son or daughter undertakes their Bronze DofE Award with Hyndland Secondary. Once calculations of costs are completed. The cost to you will be based on the final overall cost divided by the number of pupils taking part. Therefore, when your son or daughter enrols, you are also being asked to honour your commitment to pay for their participation. You can expect the cost at Bronze level to beapproximately £200.00 plus the cost of purchasing personal kit, food etc. for expeditions. Hyndland Secondary subsidises the administrative and staffing costs incurred in running the DofE programme and negotiates the best price with outdoor providers.
