The de Ferrers Academy Combined Cadet Force

Tonight Cadets visited the illuminations at the National Memorial Arboretum @deferrers

We’re so proud of our Cadets who took part in this year’s Remembrance commemorations. The whole Academy came together for the two-minute silence. A special mention to Cadet Colour Sgt Hudson for her reading at the Sixth Form. We will remember them. @deferrers @deFerrers_6th

Huge well done to all of the Cadets who took part in this year’s Remembrance parade. We will remember them.

Huge thank you to Colour Sgt Hudson and LCpl Sidebottom for laying the wreath on behalf of the Academy today, you did us proud.

Huge thank you to our Cadets who helped out at open evening tonight!

Huge well done to our amazing Cadets for their fantastic work during Summer School! You kept our new Y7s entertained, showed brilliant leadership, and adapted to every challenge. A special thanks to Cadet Sgt Hudson for her leadership. Enjoy the rest of your summer! ☀️

Our Cadets are up bright and early on the first day of the holidays to run an event at Summer School. First up, team talk lead by Sgt Hudson! @deferrers

To celebrate a week of hard work, cadets let their hair down at the Altcar Festival – Altfest. There was dancing, glitter face paint, burgers, ice cream, and plenty of laughs. The evening finished with a fantastic firework display lighting up the sky.

A great day of challenges and teamwork for our cadets on Thursday. They pushed through the obstacle course, got hands-on with radio communications, took part in a vehicle checkpoint scenario, and handled a first aid simulation with focus and determination.

Another full-on day for the Cadets, this time focusing on TIBUA. They worked through building entry drills and room clearance, learning to move with purpose and communicate under pressure. Some strong teamwork on display, with the section leads stepping up and guiding their teams

Quick visit from Operation Ice cream to the TIBUA. Lovely refreshing treat. Thank you to the CTT for our treat! @deferrers

Day Three saw our Cadets start strong on the ranges, followed by high-energy rounds of tag archery and clay pigeon shooting. Well done to everyone who took part, great effort all around! @deferrers

Day two has taken us on AT to the Liverpool Watersports centre. A great day had by all @deferrers
