I have been involved with DofE since starting teaching in 1999. I was privileged enough to be one of the teachers involved with introducing the DofE award to Corby schools. I have since continued my involvement in providing the award in Gloucester and with my current school in Coventry. It has been a pleasure to facilitate this for the participants from a wide variety of backgrounds. To see how they have grown throughout their journey and experiences, both as a group and individuals has been an honour to be part of.
