CCF Team:
Bridlington School CCF formed in August 1910 and currently has 65 enthusiastic cadets in its Contingent who parade after school every Wednesday. Students can join at the beginning of Year 8 and remain cadets until the end of Year 13 if they so wish. Whether in the Army or the RAF section, they learn a range of military skills and participate in a variety of leadership and teamwork exercises. On our Field Days they have the opportunity to visit military bases, including opportunities for field craft, shooting and flying. Cadets are encouraged to take on responsibility as Senior Cadets, organising activities and, in the process, improving their self-confidence and their presentation skills, they form an important element of the wider school student leadership body. The CCF is well supported by Adult Volunteers consisting of the Contingent Commander, 5 school staff and 2 training sergeants from the MOD.
The aim of the CCF is to provide a disciplined organisation through which cadets may develop qualities of endurance, resourcefulness, self-reliance, leadership, responsibility and a sense of public service. The Service (military) training that we do is used as a framework through which these aims can be realised. We also invest a good deal of time on a considerable amount of “non-military” training, such as command tasks, leaderless tasks and adventurous training.
The School
Bridlington School is a successful 11-18 maintained school with over 1,000 students on roll, a number which is rising year on year as our reputation as a centre of excellence grows within the local area. We have a small but thriving sixth form; the growth of this is an ambition for the school. Students are polite, respectful and keen to learn, 49% are entitled to free school meals, 25% are also on the SEN register predominantly due to difficulties with literacy and numeracy skills.
What we can offer You
It is an exciting time to join Bridlington School as we continue to strengthen and grow our CCF. The successful candidate will join a Contingent that has strong historical roots whilst also being progressive and committed to moulding the next generation of cadets.
You will join a friendly, supportive team who are committed to the CCF. The CCF is highly valued by the School Leadership Team, Governors and Trustee.
