Award Structure
Inclusive Awards
It is recognised that an Award system was needed for individuals who require special support. The Caledonian Family of Awards are designed to stretch these young people both physically & intellectually within their own particular range of capabilities.
Flexible Approach
All individuals learn & develop at different rates. This is why a planned programme of events is designed by professionals, in conjunction with participants, parents, guardians & house officers, specially to suit each participant. This approach ensures that each person gains the maximum benefit from the Award. Continuous assessment is undertaken by leaders. The level of effort put into an activity is as important as the achievement.
