GMS Honoured by DofE

The impact of Great Marlow School’s volunteering on the community has been recognised by the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme.

“Volunteering is a key part of the DofE programme because we know the impact it has both on a young person’s life, and on the wider community.

We’ve been celebrating stories of volunteering during Volunteers’ Week, and we are pleased to send you a certificate celebrating the impact of your DofE group’s volunteering.

Despite the challenges of the pandemic, we are immensely proud of the dedication, effort and achievement of young people across the UK.

Participants from Great Marlow School dedicated 1079 hours to volunteering between April 2020 and March 2021, with a social value of £4909.45.”

The school values supporting others; this award highlights our formal commitment to those around us, however, we thank everyone who ‘lends a hand’ to people in need, wherever the time or place.
