A pleasure to have you visit.

Great visit to the Army Cadet Commissions Board last weekend. Brilliant to see candidates from 20 to 60+ years old, women, men, ACF, CCF(A), veterans and those with no military experience. One thing brings them together, the desire to help young people and serve their communities

New study finds being a cadet boosts school performance, attendance, confidence & chances of uni or work success. Headteachers see real benefits. Read more: gov.uk/government/news/cadet…

Cadet experience gives youngsters a clear advantage at work and further education, new study finds

Young people who join the cadets do better at school, have improved attendance and behaviour and are more likely to go to university, a new report has found.

Really good day at Frimley Park supporting the MOD Cadet Forces Media Event. There was the Minister for Veterans & People, GOC RC and all Cadet Forces leads attending. Brilliant to see cadets and ex- cadets getting the KCM from the Minister. Lots of support and positivity.
