CCF JNCO Cadre Passing Out Parade
In a parade before parents, the Headmaster and all of Corps, thirty-five Fifth Year cadets passed out of their JNCO training as Lance Corporals.
The JNCO Cadre is perhaps the most demanding element of training we deliver. During the first two terms of their Fifth Year, including a five-day camp, cadets have been put through their paces in military skills, leadership values and methods of instruction by officers of Corps and instructors from the regular Armed Forces. They have been assessed delivering classroom lessons, leading sections in the field and preparing exciting training for their juniors. And they have excelled.
After taking the salute, the Commanding Officer, Wg Cdr Bage, warmly congratulated the Cadre: wearing military rank, he said, is no small honour and no negligible responsibility; it is a mark of our esteem for the cadets and the training they have passed through.
From the outset, this cohort of cadets has been a special one. If they maintain the standards they have set this year, they will transform Corps by their presence and leadership. Well to them all, and in particular to the following prize winners:
JNCO Cadre 2023 – Best Cadet: Cpl Gill

Best In the Field: LCpl Pullen
Best Lesson: LCpl Wolstenholme
