BRADFORD Grammar School has been praised for its work getting young people involved with the Duke of Edinburgh Award at an event in Buckingham Palace.
Scott Hoath, the school’s Duke of Edinburgh Coordinator, was presented with a plaque from the DofE Charity.
Members of the Royal Family, including The Duke of Edinburgh congratulated those that were present including young Gold Award achievers, organisations that deliver the DofE and special guests such as corporate supporters.
The scheme is celebrating its Diamond Anniversary this year.
Speaking about the school’s involvement with the DofE, Mr Hoath said: “BGS has held a licence to deliver the DofE for two years and I feel honoured to have been invited to Buckingham Palace to receive a commemorative plaque to acknowledge and say thank you for our work with the Charity during its Diamond Anniversary year.
“Our young people are encouraged to push themselves outside of their comfort zones when doing their DofE and the skills that they develop can be life-changing, so for us to be involved is something very special.”
