Ted Roberts

Head of Personal Development

Previously a freelance outdoor instructor running Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) expeditions, National Citizenship Service (NCS) outdoor residentials and leading on the Prince’s Trust outdoor residentials, I have 12 years of experience as a Cadet Forces Adult Volunteer (CFAV) running and supporting the Duke of Edinburgh award, adventure training, target shooting, first aid training and assessing. 

As Head of Personal Development, I oversee the Trust’s specialism in Character and Leadership education. Throughout our academies, we have several programmes that deliver the specialism such as The Combined Cadet Force and King’s Cadets, Character Residentials, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and the Leadership curriculum. This is supported and delivered by the Personal Development team. 

I passionately believe in using outdoor education to inspire, challenge and help young people to develop their character. My drive is to offer all young people, no matter what their background, experiences in the outdoors which lead to learning, increased health and well-being, environmental awareness and to become successful citizens in tomorrow’s world.
