After five years of dedication to the CCF, we say farewell to Cadet Colour Sergeant Hudson.
A respected leader, role model, and friend to many, she will be greatly missed.

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.

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
