Service & Citizenship Scheme - including the CCF
On Tuesday afternoons you can either choose the CCF (Combined
Cadet Force) or a Service Activity. Within the CCF, you sign up
initially for a year, and attend the recruit camp at Easter. After
graduation you can choose to specialize in either the Army or RAF
sections. Some boys progress to fly aircraft solo and/or go on the
Advanced Infantry Cadre. Within the Services & Citizenship scheme
you can choose from a range of options including: visiting the
elderly, offering ICT help in a local library, conservation work,
helping the theatre tech crew, learning touch typing and helping with
the Moldova Project. There is a lot on offer, including first aid.
Drama and Music
The school has brilliant drama facilities and every year there are
several plays to get involved with; some are joint productions with
the school of St Helen and St Katharine (a local girls school). We
have a thriving music department that has toured in many parts of
the world. Approximately two out of three boys in the school take
music lessons and there are many orchestras and groups for the
boys to get involved in.
