Over the Easter period, a number of our RAF cadets travelled to Inskip Cadet Training Centre to take part in a challenging and rewarding training camp.
Throughout the week, cadets were fully immersed in RAF-style training, building on the skills they have been developing back at school and putting them into practice in a live training environment. The camp followed key elements of the RAF Air Cadet syllabus, giving cadets valuable hands-on experience across a wide range of activities.
Cadets took part in structured parade training, developing their drill, discipline, and confidence on the square, alongside a variety of leadership and teamwork exercises. They also explored elements of the RAF syllabus including aerospace and space-based learning, gaining an insight into modern RAF operations and future technologies.
In addition to classroom-based learning, the camp placed a strong emphasis on practical training and teamwork, with cadets working together to solve problems, complete challenges, and support one another throughout the week. The experience not only developed their skills but also strengthened friendships and built resilience.
The camp concluded with formal parades, where cadets had the opportunity to demonstrate what they had learnt and showcase their progression over the course of the week.
Wing Commander Bosworth, Contingent Commander, said:
“It is fantastic to see our RAF cadets taking part in opportunities like this. Camps such as these allow them to bring their training to life, developing confidence, discipline, and teamwork. They represented the contingent exceptionally well and should be very proud of their efforts.”
A cadet who attended said:
“The camp was an amazing experience. We got to try so many new things, especially the space training, and it really helped build our confidence. It was challenging at times, but really enjoyable and something I’d definitely do again.”
All cadets who attended made the most of the opportunity, demonstrating enthusiasm, commitment, and a positive attitude throughout. They were a credit to the contingent and to the school.
