CCF | Ryde School

It was so nice to be all back together for the day! #girlpower

And this was their final inspection for this incredible group of U6 cadets who have been incredible role models to our younger cadets! BZ team!

Proud day for @RydeSchool CCF contingent! We hosted our biennial inspection today with Gp Capt M Fletcher and Cdr Haines from HQ CCF RN. #success #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

Time to say goodbye as the @RoyalNavy Section Officer of Ryde School CCF after 8 fantastic years. Passing on the baton to Lt F who will now lead the section. Go #Navy ! 💪🏻⚓️ It has been a privilege and a total blast! 🙏

An amazing privilege to be able to organize and host a @RoyalNavy #InternationalWomensDay event at @HMSPresidentRNR yesterday. Inspiring stories from Servicewomen and Young Students shared throughout the day ⚓️ @NatashaMDay @vkinkaid11 @BxFys @RNReserve @navy_women @RN_LGBTQ

@CCFcadets @RoyalNavy @HMSPresidentRNR Sure. No problem at all from our end.

@RydeCCF @RoyalNavy @HMSPresidentRNR Amazing 🤩 can we share this on IG?

2 of our Royal Navy cadets were invited to attend the @RoyalNavy #InternationalWomensDay celebrations at @HMSPresidentRNR today! They joined inspiring women from across the RN to honor the achievements and contributions of women in maritime service. #IWD2025

@RFATidespring @RFAHeadquarters We loved it! 🙏😊

@RydeCCF @RFAHeadquarters We are glad you enjoyed your visit 😁

We had the great privilege to spend a full day on @RFATidespring . What a fantastic experience we had and we would like to thank her Captain and her crew for their warm hospitality. 🙏 @RFAHeadquarters

And we had a bit of #girlpower moment too… 💪⚓️

It was especially lovely for our Lord Lieutenant Cadet Katie A to meet former 2SL who served together with her dad and @CdreRBellfield ! Small world!

What a fantastic @CCFcadets #Christmas2024 dinner we’ve just had! 🧵

In our Royal Navy section, during @CCFcadets , our newest cadets learnt the rules of the road in a more ‘hands on’ approach via #Origami Learning through fun! #thursdaymood

@RFATidespring @HMNBPortsmouth Thank you for having taken the time to invite us onboard and feel so welcome! Fair winds and following seas! 🙏👋

A busy week in #Portsmouth complete, thank you @HMNBPortsmouth for looking after us. 👋

After our ship’s visit, the next day, we were this time at HMS Excellent learning about firefighting. Thank you to all staff for their time and dedication. Thank you to @RoyalNavy and @CCFcadets for offering these truly unique and amazing opportunities to young people.

We simply had the most amazing day onboard @RFATidespring and you gave us a lot of food for thoughts as to consider a career at sea with @RFAHeadquarters 🙏⚓️

Joke and fun aside, it was really helpful to understand the hazards and dangers on a vessel like this that could happen and how important fire training is.
