INVOLVEMENT in the Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Award scheme has been met with unanimous praise by students of the Bay CE Secondary in Sandown who received their bronze awards. Tributes have been paid internationally to Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, following his passing on Friday (April 9) at the age of 99. Now his legacy continues in the sterling work of the DofE Awards and the generations who have benefitted and continue to benefit from taking part. The programme, a recognised mark of achievement respected by employers, has run in recent years at the Bay through the Open Centre, supported by Mrs Senad Adams and Mrs Carol Tavernor, the award officer for the Isle of Wight.
