The Combined Cadet Force (CCF) at our school offers an exciting and rewarding opportunity for students to challenge themselves, build confidence and develop essential life skills. Our aim is simple yet powerful: to nurture personal responsibility, leadership and self‑discipline in every cadet.

Through our partnership with the Ministry of Defence, we provide a structured, inspiring environment where students can grow, achieve and thrive. A CCF may include sections from the Royal Navy/Royal Marines, Army, or Royal Air Force, giving cadets a rich insight into service life while building teamwork, resilience and character.

At the heart of our programme is the Army Cadet Syllabus (ACS), an exciting mix of practical skills and adventurous activities designed to stretch and motivate. Cadets learn essential First Aid, take part in Drill and develop crucial Fieldcraft techniques. They explore Navigation and Expedition skills, gaining confidence in the outdoors while working together to solve real challenges. Keeping Active encourages physical fitness and wellbeing, while Community Engagement helps cadets make a meaningful difference beyond school.

Joining the CCF is more than taking part in activities; it is about discovering your strengths, stepping out of your comfort zone and becoming part of something truly special. We invite all students to take on the adventure and see where the journey leads.
