Combined Cadet Force (CCF)

We offer our young people the opportunity to be part of the Combined Cadet Force (CCF), which includes both the Army and Royal Air Force. During Year 8, learners are provided with information about CCF and then, from Year 9, they have the opportunity to join.
CCF is an important part of learner enrichment here and offers our young people a broad range of challenging, exciting and adventurous, as well as educational, activities working with school staff and the Ministry of Defence. Its aim is to aid the development of personal responsibility, leadership and self-discipline.

Joining the CCF provides a wonderful and unique opportunity to take part in exciting Army-themed training activities and events. These focus on building courage, self-discipline, respect for others, integrity, loyalty and commitment. As well as developing effective communication skills, confidence, and a sense of pride and achievement.
