Gold DofE - Year 13
Congratulations to the five students who have already finished their Gold DofE award, just before leaving The Warriner School. It is definitely possible to complete the Gold whilst in Year 13. It is important that the students ask for support and help to find the residential suitable for them - there really are lots of opportunities out there and we are happy to point them in the right direction.
We have very much enjoyed supporting you with your DofE journey and hope that you will all complete the award in due course. If you have not finished before you leave The Warriner School, don't forget you have until your 25th birthday to complete it and we will continue to support you once you have left school. Below, we have put some help sections to hopefully guide you getting as much done with your Gold award, before you go onto University/Further Education or work and leave The Warriner School.

How to get started on your Duke of Edinburgh Award:
On a computer - eDofE | How to log in to eDofE - YouTube
On the App - eDofE | How to use the DofE App - YouTube
Please note that we encourage the students not to upload weekly evidence via the app, but to put this evidence into a PowerPoint Presentation, so that they can show their assessor's at the end of the required time and upload onto eDofE for me to see just one piece of evidence.
expedition section to finish
- Make sure that you have entered the details for your practice and assessment expedition
- Write in your group goal and your personal aim and ask me to approve them
- Ask your team members for the information to put here, or message me for help
- Finally, once you have put the information onto eDofE, you will be able to read the personal assessors report that Ocean Rock wrote about your expedition - well worth reading - they will certainly made us very proud of your achievements.
your assessor has left/changed for your other sections
If you have changed your assessor/activity, as long as you are keeping a good record on your activity log and the activity fits in the same category (email the DofE Manager to check if necessary), you can ask your Tutor, or teacher to be your assessor. Please remember that the name on your assessors report must match that of the assessor on your planner, so you may need to "Revert to Draft" and send again for approval.
If you have done two different activities, you must change the activity on the planner. Also, you MUST have two different assessors reports. If you have not got an activity log, please let the DofE Manager know as they can sort this out - no problem.
finished activities - assessors report required
If you have mislaid your participants pack, you can access it here: https://www.dofe.org/welcome-packs-dth
You do not need to get your paper assessors page, from your participants pack signed by your assessor. This can be done via email - very easy to do and if this is where you are stuck, you could complete sections really quickly:
- Upload your activity logs to your eDofE page and any other evidence that you have. (IF you do not have your activity log, email the DofE Manager as they can help with this)
- Email your assessor with the evidence and the activity logs. Please note, the assessor does not have access to your eDofE area. Also, email them the following information filling in the relevant information to identify what they are assessing:
- Website Link to send to assessors with the details:
https://www.dofe.org/assessor/
Participants ID Number: XXXXXXXX
Level: Gold
Section: Voluntary, Physical or Skill - The assessor will complete the report online and this will come straight to the eDofE co-ordinator. They will check that they can see your activity log and assessors report and sign off the section.
overload of Dofe information - apologies!
We apologise for a lot of information, but the students are all at different levels, so we are trying to focus on the main problems that students and parents are emailing with. It is absolutely no problem to email: DofEManager@warriner.oxon.sch.uk - email if you have a problem, so we can sort it out quite quickly this way.
Don't forget that there are loads of useful information on your eDofE too, under resources.
A MASSIVE WELL DONE TO YOU ALL -
STUDENTS AND ALSO THE PARENTS!
Thank you also to the members of staff who are assessing the students
and running training sessions when they can.
