The Bronze Award is open to anyone in the 3rd Form. A letter outlining the Bronze Award is sent to all 3rd Form parents at half term in the Autumn term and there is then a presentation about the Bronze Award to pupils. The four sections of the Award (Skill, Volunteering, Physical Recreation and Expedition) can all be completed by the end of the 3rd Form.

The Gold Award is open to anyone once they reach the age of 16, but is formally launched at the beginning of the Lower Sixth. The five sections of the Gold Award (Skill, Volunteering, Physical Recreation, Residential and Expedition) can be completed within 18 months of starting - or in other words by the end of the Spring term of the Upper Sixth. If a pupil joining College in the Sixth Form has completed the Silver Award elsewhere, then the Gold Award can be completed within 12 months.
