Cadet Vocational College Lion Award
What is the Cadet Vocational College Lion Award?
The Cadet Vocational College Lion Award promotes the development of 8-14 year old’s through a varied and exciting programme of outdoor activities, first aid skills and social action projects.
It supports young people’s mental wellbeing, resilience and character, providing them with a safe environment to try something new and push themselves out of their comfort zone.
How does the Award work?
The Award is built on experiential and reflective learning and can be delivered in 12, 24 or 36 week programmes. It offers experiences that sit outside of the traditional curriculum, designed to complement regular schoolwork and help young people with the challenges they face in everyday life.
Learning is facilitated through coaching and Cadet Vocational College instructors will provide constructive feedback throughout on students’ actions and behaviours. The emphasis is on teamwork, the impact that individuals can make on group performance and how groups can influence the decision to achieve a shared outcome.
Education is not a one size fits all solution and the Cadet Vocational College Lion Award helps young people find their place in the world by exploring the abilities that make them unique.

I feel like my confidence has sky-rocketed and it has only been two weeks – I can’t wait for next week’s session!
