Sandbach School CCF

What a weekend! Gliding by at Woodvale & PTT at TernHill. 14 blue wings and 6 fam certs awarded! @cabster3560 @fts_2 @SandbachCCF @ComdtAC #632vgsontour

Matt Shawtell from @birminghamtinywhoopers demonstrating his Drone flying skills and the view he has from his FPV goggles (it's not sped up!) We're developing Youth Organisation Drone Racing #YODR, for more info email contact@skillsupply.co.uk #fpvdrone #droneracing #fpv

CCF cadets/SHS students Keira, Maddison, Eloise, Alexandra, Estella, Esther, Daisy and Anna held a parade to salute and march in honour of 80 years since D Day #DDay80 #proud #wewillrememberthem

Had the best day yesterday. Inspecting @hughbaird CCF during the day and dinner with @SandbachCCF in the evening. With a quick change and catch up with family friends sandwiched in between. Feeling inspired by so many in one day @ctt_nw @nw_army @CCFcadets @SandbachSchool

Having a bit of fun tail chasing in Hawks in Snowdonia and in VR. A reward after an impromptu effect of controls training session with @dom_surry More to come next week 😎

We’re back! 632VGS have moved to RAF Woodvale whilst their hangar gets built. Huge thanks to all that have made it happen! @fts_2 @631AGS station staff. #632vgsontour

Brilliant work @SandbachSchool open morning. Putting the @CCFcadets grant to very good use by engaging young people and their families. Thank you to cadets and staff for their super support on the Top Gun challenge and VR Mach Loop in hawks.

Yesterday @RAF_Wittering we were really pleased to train @aircadets staff in using our #drone systems using bespoke materials we've designed and delivered for @CERegionRAFAC & @AldridgeK_RAFAC Not just drones, but #STEM, #science & #technology as well as using #maths & #coding

We are delighted that so many students have enrolled to join our Sixth Form. We are looking forward to welcoming you on the Induction Morning on Tues 5th Sept. It isn't too late to enrol. Email kbooth@sandbachschool.org if you'd like a meeting on Mon 4th Sept to discuss options.

You have to be in it to win it! @WandWAirCadets @CCFcadets pilotweb.aero/flying/trainin…

And that's it!! Drill and Ceremonial Camp 2023 is finished! If you missed it, the livestream from the final parade is available on our YouTube Channel (@rafac_dandc/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@rafac_dandc/). Keep your eyes peeled for some lookbacks at the camp over the next few weeks! #dandc23

So much hard work and effort put in by these @aircadets today on the trial #BronzeWingsBadge course. Lots of concentration during practice sessions this morning & assessments all afternoon. Thank you Wg Cdr Green for delivering and @SandbachCCF & @SandbachSchool for supporting.

A very productive afternoon on the #BronzeWings course with @aircadets. An introduction to air navigation, plotting routes, calculating distances and times and then learning to fly their routes accurately. @fts_2 @SandbachCCF @SandbachSchool

Busy morning on the #BronzeWings Ground Based Training Equipment course with @aircadets. Learning to fly circuits and using pilot phraseology @astiusa @fts_2 @SandbachCCF

Great to be working with Wg Cdr Green delivering the last trial of the #BronzeWings Ground Based Training Equipment course with @aircadets from @SandbachSchool and local Squadron. First session complete getting to grips with the kit from a CCFA grant. @fts_2 @SandbachCCF

In another activity @RHSSuffolk the pupils found out about real uses of drones in the armed forces. They then coded their own drone to complete missions using their air navigation skills our map mat! #STEM #realworldskills #drones @CCFcadets @ArmyCadetsUK @aircadets @SeaCadetsUK

A fabulous day teaching @SpheroEdu and #drone #coding to @CCFcadets @RHSSuffolk Linked to @aircadets the @RHS_CCF were learning about circuits, #communication and #navigation. They did brilliantly, even if their "radio" comms was a little creative 😁

Ready to go for another day of #drone and @sphero #coding and overcoming #navigation challenges with @CCFcadets @RHS_CCF

At @RHSSuffolk this week we used #STEM activities to develop real world skills for the young people in their @CCFcadets. This included learning about air navigation and coding a Sphero to 'fly' circuits around an airfield map, including comms! @SpheroEdu @aircadets #Coding
