The Ultimate Bracken Award
The Ultimate Bracken Award is a comprehensive, multi‑activity achievement programme for Brackenfield's pupils aged 7–11 (Years 3–6). Think Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme but designed especially for younger children with a wide scope.
Pupils complete a wide range of tasks independently, with staff providing support, guidance, verification and celebration, outside of in‑school time. Almost all tasks are underpinned by the school's 4 Mission Areas: click HERE for more information on these.

Award Levels
Pupils can earn Bronze, Silver and Gold awards at their own pace:
- Bronze: 18 verified achievements
- Silver: 23 verified achievements
- Gold: 24 verified achievements
Gold is designed to be completed gradually across Years 3–6.
