By embracing these [BF Achievement] Awards, schools demonstrate their commitment to providing a versatile experience for their students, making it an attractive proposition from an educational standpoint, as children in school will gain substantial recognition for their dedication.

Once they have achieved an award, they can’t have it taken away. Children or young members of fencing clubs – after earning their level one award and witnessing their own growth – are keener and feel more encouraged to excel further and to gain higher levels of awards.
