St James Challengers and The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is an excellent vehicle to support the personal development of young people, bringing a clear sense of purpose and achievement.
Our pupils are offered the chance to achieve the Bronze and Silver Awards and in Sixth Form, Gold, and we help them by organising expedition training and qualifying expeditions as well as providing advice and encouragement to meet the requirements.
The Pause
At St James, we feel it is important to introduce our pupils to stillness and allow them to discover how to be inwardly free and deeply at ease within themselves. A short period of 5-10 minutes at the beginning and middle of every day is allocated to quietude in which pupils may meditate, contemplate or simply be still – according to their own spiritual inclinations.
