Does the Drumpf policy agenda want to dismantle the DofE and have each state make its own decisions about all things having to do with their schools’ policies or is this yet another turn of Whack a Mole?

My daughter left her Spotify account logged in on our TV while she did her DofE expedition back in April, so I did what any self-respecting dad would do. Payoff finally came today.

THANK YOU! Is the Board finally realizing it's tortured the DOFE far beyond its original intent, that of preventing the registration of a foreign word that is actually the name of the goods in English? (She asks, having written the same OA response countless times ...)

Also make sure that your child reads the AI generated “ebooks” on ReadingPlus as that generates the reports we need for the DofE and which we can’t provide if she reads actual books for fun instead

Messages from school now: Your child's exam schedule is on Zoop, login via the LernPortal to access it, the results will be on HoneyTree, their homework is on Zappp & NumberHub

Great work by the Green team and DofE volunteers on Saturday! A small group tackled the rotten gate post at Fosseway Lane, while the rest continued cutting back gorse and bramble along the canal bed below Wood Lock 18.

Thanks all!

Boycott this racist, xenophobic monster. Denounce these dangerous lies by never buying anything from him or his companies again. That means get off Twitter, no Teslas, oppose his government contracts. Demand investigations of his DOFE enrichmen. This guy is a threat to decent humans everywhere.

A busy (and very green!) morning for our Green Team & DofE volunteers!

Thanks to the Edwards family for donating six trees 🌱 — Richard planted them, Bill sharpened tools, Oscar’s team cleared the gate area, and the other Oscar oiled benches.

Great teamwork all round! 💚

I'm rather hoarse now as a result, but really enjoyed today's inaugural 'Leisure Industry Day' at Mar Lodge. We invited tour guides, MLs, MTB guides, DofE leaders etc to the estate so we could update them on our work, so they can in turn pass up to date info on to their clients when they're on site.

So this weekend is our Gold @DofE Duke of Edinburgh practice expedition. Last night the team camped in Newhaven and today walking near Falmer. What a beautiful weekend for camping and hiking. 💜🥾⛺️☀️🔥🏕️💜 #DukeOfEdinburgh #Skills #Planning #TheGreatOutdoors

Great progress being made on day 2 in the beautiful Peak District. One group traverses the bridleway, whilst Mr Shippey inspects the local wildlife #dofe #enjoyment

Yes, it's so good. And even trumps my wife's ancient DofE skills occasionally, although I wouldn't admit that in public.

All becomes clear. I thought it was some sort of martial art or DofE thing.

本日からグレちゃんDofEで週末までキャンプなんだけど、今朝巨大なリュックを積み込んで学校まで送っていく途中、あー、渋滞にも引っかからなかったし集合時間までもまだちょっと余裕あるしちょうど良い時間に出られたーと思って、学校まで2分くらいのところで

私「天気予報どんな感じだろうねえ」
グ「ちょっと霧が出るって云ってたー」
私「夜寒くならないようにちゃんと上着持ってる?」
グ「うん、フリース入れてる~」
私「ウォータープルーフのジャケットは?」
グ「……ハウァァァァ(息を飲む音)」
私「ええええええええええええ、いまああああああああ!?」

Squash courts went first in (former) Avon, with sports halls cut down after. Youngest ended up with a gym programme for DofE bronze as nothing else on offer for beginners.

I don't know how you deal with that sense of invulnerability that young lads in particular seem to have. Mine can back from a DofE expedition with a cut & lump on his head because him & has mates decided throwing rocks at each other was a good game....

Genuinely concerned for some of these DofE kids, they’re super overloaded and it’s already 28°c.

That would be brilliant for sure. DofE would be a great fit too?

A day at work… relaxing by the River Wye waiting for my team of young people to pass through on their DofE Bronze expedition.

@blacks_online poor customer service apparently it's ok for them to sell a tent my son only use for 4 nights in spring before a pole broke. No appreciation of sale of goods act and a product being fit for purpose. @scouts and @DofE young folk beware when equipping for expeds

My children went / are at a fabulous academy secondary school. Languages (compulsory to GCSE), music, dance, media, psychology, food tech all available.

School trips abroad (although expensive) with languages and history but the school supported kids who could not pay.

Big on sports / PE / DofE.
