What is the
Junior Duke Award
The Junior Duke is a ten-level Award aimed at increasing children’s independence, confidence and resilience by giving them a non-academic platform on which to feel success and achievement.
It is sometimes hard to remember to give children space and time to develop their life skills as it’s quicker and less messy to do things ourselves. But when will they learn?
Getting started with the Junior Duke award
With nearly 140 progressive challenges across the 10 different levels, the Junior Duke Award helps children to develop confidence and competence in life skills that they otherwise may not learn.
Challenges are tailored to each age group, and include learning First Aid, ironing, preparing meals, building a fire, delivering a presentation, learning how to swim, and much more.
Children take pride in their handwritten self-reflections and enjoy discussing their new skills with their teachers and families. Completing the levels during the academic year keeps children motivated to keep learning, building a new sense of community and competitiveness to finish their level by the end of the school year!
Plus, the Junior Duke Award has been designed so that it may be completed at home, requiring minimal work from teachers to get it up and running.
Fun for all the family!
Two Case Studies
Big thanks to two Lead Teachers for taking the time to answer some questions about how the Junior Duke works for them in their schools: Fairgreen in Dubai and Gordonstoun in Scotland. The Award works a little differently in every school so it's always interesting to hear from different teachers.
