We now have an exciting opportunity for a School Staff Instructor (SSI) to join our Combined Cadet Force (CCF) at the Stamford Schools.

The CCF comprises of 3 sections: Royal Navy (RN), Army and Royal Air Force (RAF). Cadets elect to join the CCF at the start of Year 10 and may remain in the CCF until the end of Year 13. Membership of the CCF is entirely voluntary. The Contingent strength is approximately 230 cadets. The CCF is staffed by a part-time Contingent Commander, a full-time SSI and Cadet Force Adult Volunteers (CFAVs). CFAVs are drawn from the school’s teaching and support staff, and individuals who live or work in local area. The CCF is formally inspected every two years by a senior officer from one of the services.

Training takes place during term time on Friday evenings, from 1640 to 1745 (subject to review academic year 24/25). Additional training takes place after school, at weekends and during the school holidays. The majority of the training is conducted at the St Paul’s site, where the CCF has access to the school’s classrooms, playgrounds and playing fields. The CCF has its own stores, classroom, offices and an indoor, 25m, .22 rifle range.
