The CCF welcomes cadets from Year 9 – Year 13 in both Army and Navy sections. We meet on Wednesday evenings from 1600hr and our range of activities is wide and, as you would expect, adventurous!
The Biennial Inspection 2010
CCF 150 Years
The CCF contingent at St Margaret’s School had its biennial inspection on Friday. They were honoured to be inspected by Colonel R.A.W.Spencer, OBE, who addressed the contingent, one of only four all-girls CCF groups in the country. The girls’ commander is Captain Paul Sword, assisted by Sergeants Lewis and Tyson, who were awarded promotions for their service to the contingent. More...
2010 is the 150th year of the cadet movement and to celebrate, HRH The Queen and HRH the Duke of Edinburgh attended the Devon celebrations at Wyvern Barracks on Thursday 11th March. St Margaret’s CCF cadets were asked take part in the parade and to represent the school. Due to a limited number of tickets, Lt Sword, Lt Lyon and Sgt Allison conducted an inspection of our cadets and those with the smartest appearance were chosen to attend.
On Friday 7th November, 22 of St Margaret’s Contingent paraded after school in anticipation for what, for many of them, was the first ever exercise that they had experienced.
On Monday 11th May, our cadets enjoyed the climbing wall and circuit training at CTCRM, Lympstone. The Physical Training Instructors, Lordie and Al, definitely looked the part (with their bulging muscles!), and made the sessions very light hearted and fun. Al, the climbing wall instructor, went as far as to say that some of our cadets were better than some of the marines in basic training!
The cadets were transported out to Woodbury Common on Wednesday 2nd July 2008 with excitement and some anxiety as to what it would be like to basher up, for many being the first time, under the stars…
On Saturday 12th July 18 cadets from St Margaret’s CCF departed for Penhale in Cornwall where the Regular Army accommodate us, amongst 400 other cadets from around the South West.
