The tradition of cadet units in schools goes back over 150 years and The Vyne School has had a Cadet unit since 1918. Today, the CCF is a partnership between 500 schools and the Ministry of Defence.

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 their future employment.

Our aim is to enable the development of personal responsibility, leadership and self-discipline. 

The CCF is a fully integrated part of the school, under the control of the Head Teacher, and all training is carried out with safety as the priority. The Ministry of Defence lays down tight guidelines for all our activities. 

Pupils at Everest Community Academy and Sherfield School are able to join The Vyne CCF thanks to our partnerships under the Cadet Expansion Programme, which started in September 2022 under the Cadet Expansion Program.

The Head at Everest has said "Everest Community Academy is excited at this partnership and the students cannot wait to get started on their journey with CCF. It is such a wonderful opportunity for the students to engage with and to support their education through learning new life skills and working with other like minded young people."
