Mr W Keddie, Assistant Headteacher Duke of Edinburgh Award A number of students have expressed an interest in completing the ‘Duke of Edinburgh Award’ scheme. As the school is unable to run this as an extra-curricular activity at present, we contacted the ‘DoE’ team at Solihull MBC who have provided details of the following groups. In addition, some independent uniformed and voluntary groups offer D of E in Solihull, eg the Scout Association, Girl Guiding UK, ATC and Solihull School.
