Duke of Edinburgh

  


 		 Merseyside Police and The Duke of Edinburgh's Award are working together in an almost unique project, in collaboration with Broadgreen International School, to deliver the Award. The Award started in Broadgreen in September 2005, after PC Phil Seddon was seconded here to support a small group of disengaged and disadvantaged students. Since then the Award has grown immensely. In its first year 12 students achieved their Bronze Award.

Over 200 pupils have now received a Bronze or Silver Award and in March 2009 one former pupil was presented with his Gold Award by the Chief Constable, Bernard Hogan Howe, at the Annual Awards
Ceremony held at the school. He will be invited to attend a Royal reception at either Holyrood Palace or St James Palace in the Autumn where he will be presented with his certificate.

This collaboration continues to be recognised at a national level, last year by HRH the Earl of Wessex and with Peter Westgarth, CEO of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, who attended this year's ceremony. Constable Seddon also received an Award on behalf of the DofE team at Broadgreen, presented by Merseyside Police in recognition of their achievements in providing positive diversionary activities for youngsters across the community. Furthermore, because of the impact that the DofE Award has had, Broadgreen will be offering a BTEC programme in Outdoor Education from September 2009, which will include DofE Award and other outdoor activities.
