During the last few surveys completed by students and parents, there has been a great demand for the introduction of the Duke of Edinburgh Award at CTK.
Last term we appointed Mr Josh Hudson as our DofE Co-ordinator. He is very excited to begin the preparation work for this.
We will be offering this opportunity to our students from September 2023. If your child is interested in getting involved or finding out more then they should email DofE@christtheking.notts.sch.uk to express their interest.
