The Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme at Mary Hare School goes from strength to strength, with increasing numbers of participants and improvements in equipment. Over the past year, there have been a number of new developments. Award Presentation This year’s Annual Award Presentation was a special one for Mary Hare, as we had the greatest number of pupils receiving the award since we started the scheme. Ben Glover , Roger Watson , Jack Arnold , Andrew Kenward , Hamish Roberts , Graeme Gray , Lewis Martin , Oliver Harper , Max Thorne , Daniel Clements , Holly Lane and Timothy Quigley all received their Bronze Award. Kirsty Day and Ross Grant received their Silver Award. As part of his ‘Service’ section for his Gold award, Ross is actively involved in the Duke of Edinburgh scheme across West Berkshire. Developments We have also been able to increase the awards on offer, with pupils now working towards Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards.
