Our vibrant CCF offers

significant opportunities

The Wycliffe Combined Cadet Force is a voluntary organisation within the senior school, for pupils aged between 13 and 18. It aims to provide an opportunity for young people to exercise responsibility and leadership in a disciplined and controlled environment.

Our vibrant CCF contingent offers significant developmental opportunities; through the use of military-orientated activity and adventurous training, Cadets have the opportunity to develop their sense of responsibility and the qualities of self-reliance, resourcefulness, endurance, perseverance and  service to the community.

Cadets are encouraged to take part in a wide variety of activities within the school's estate or on extensive common land adjacent to it  here cadets learn cooking, camping and navigational techniques and develop their team building and instructional skills.

More adventurous training takes place away from the school; cadets are offered the challenges of the Ten Tors event, the Devizes to Warminster canoe marathon, alpine climbing in Austria and Nordic skiing expeditions.

We believe that the acquisition of the personal attributes developed in the CCF at a formative stage will remain of value throughout cadets' lives and will be relevant in whatever career they pursue.
