The Combined Cadet Force is an integral part of life at Malvern College. Every student spends time in the Cadet Force and many cadets stay in the CCF until they are 18. The current contingent establishment is 200 cadets supported by 12 dedicated and qualified staff. There are Army, Royal Marine and RAF sections allowing pupils to gain a taste of all aspects of the cadet world.
The CCF parades weekly on a Friday and conducts a wide and diverse range of training in line with the relevant syllabi. We are fortunate to have an onsite 25-metre small bore range which is regularly used by cadets.
Further to this there are regular Flying Days, Field Days and Annual Camps which allow our cadets to work with a wide range of military staff outside of the Malvern College Community. The CCF prides itself on regularly competing at local and regional levels in a wide range of events such as the Pringle Trophy, the Cambrian Patrol competition and the RAF RAST competition.
