The Combined Cadet
Force (CCF) was formed from the
Officer’s Training Corps (OTC) in 1908, & in 1948 it became the CCF, involving all the three British Armed
Service’s. The CCF is an
organization apart from the school which is over looked, & financed, by
the Ministry of Defence (MoD), & gives cadets the opportunity to take
part in activities that focus on developing many interpersonal skills. These
include;
·
Self discipline.
·
Pride.
·
Team work, along with
·
Independence along with many other skills.
Cadets can join the CCF
from year Nine, where they participate in initial training, teaching the
basic aspects of military life. Cadets learn basic foot-drill, take part in
self reliance activities & are taught camp/field craft. The training
culminates in a self-reliance weekend, normally at Easter, & a Passing
Out parade where the cadets join there respective sections. The self-reliance
weekend is always popular, even with older cadets, & is where the
training is put into practice. A night exercise is always planned – followed
by a hot drink. The passing out parade is very proud moment for the cadets,
parents are also invited – the quality of drill & uniform is incredibly
high, both of which are inspected by the Head Master & the Contingent
Commander, along with the Head of Corps.
