The School contingent dates back to 1896 and currently consists of 450 cadets from the three services, The Royal Navy, The Army and The Royal Air Force. 'The function of the CCF is to provide a disciplined organisation in a school, so that pupils may develop the powers of leadership, by means of training, to promote the qualities of responsibility, self-reliance, endurance and perseverance. The self-confidence and self-discipline required in service life are equally vital in the civil life of the nation today.' (Combined Cadet Force Manual, MOD 1994).
To achieve this aim the MOD provides finance, transport, camps, highly qualified training teams from the regular services and support for adventure training and courses. The opportunities within the CCF are endless.
One thing is certain, they will have the chance to try new activities and have lots of fun.
