CCF at Alleyn's School

A beautiful day for the CCF Navy team to be out on Mercers Lake! They’re so excited to get out on the water this field day☀️⛵️@AlleynsSchool @_JaneLunnon

First week back on parade is this week! Lets hope the cadets (and their boots) are ready to shine their way through another year of CCF at Alleyn's. Best of luck to our new senior leaders as they guide us through the year. #AlleynsCCF #AlleynsFindingYourThing

With 2LT McDonough stepping into the SSI role, we bid farewell to CSgt Stevens, a hugely influential figure of #AlleynsCCF. Colour, thanks for your time, inspiration & support, for organising last year's incredible camp in Cyprus & so much more. All the best in your next chapter!

Thrilled to share 2LT McDonough’s (pictured left) promotion to SSI for #AlleynsCCF; a pivotal role in which he will provide professional military guidance to the programme, including adventure training, logistical and military planning support. #AllWeCanBe #AlleynsCoCurricular

The sun in London has us reminiscing on last year's incredible Summer Camp in Cyprus. Highlights included seeing the southern peninsula from a Puma HC2, visiting the Explosive Ordnance Disposal squadron, and learning alongside cadets from other schools. What a time! #AlleynsCCF

Congrats to new head of Cadre, Cdt CSgt Tristan, who has just returned from Frimley Park as one of the top performers at this year's Champion Cadet Competition. Straight off the back of a week of impressive shooting at Bisley! @ArmyCadetsUK #AlleynsCCF #AlleynsFindingYourThing
