PLYMOUTH COLLEGE
Combined Cadet Force (CCF) The CCF aim is to enable the development of personal responsibility, leadership and self-discipline. Each CCF is an educational partnership between the school and the Ministry of Defence. Plymouth College CCF has Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force sections. CCF units in schools give young people the life skills and self-confidence to take charge of their lives so they can reach their full potential at school and beyond, including in employment. Each section engages in their own service training and all cadets can participate in a wider range of adventurous activities including flying, gliding, sailing, shooting. As part of the national CCF community there are opportunities to attend all forms of cadet activities both in the UK and overseas. At Plymouth College the CCF is for Y10s and above. It is not compulsory but any cadet who joins is required to maintain the standards expected when wearing uniform. The CCF staff is made up of volunteers, ex regular personnel, currently serving reservists and school staff.This depth of knowledge and experience gives the cadets the support required if they later apply for military scholarships or bursaries.
