Well done to all of our CCF cadets who took part in the Brooke Weston Trust’s Annual Remembrance Parade and Beret Presentation Ceremony and congratulations to those who received awards and promotions. A special mention goes to one of our students, Acting Sgt Oscar Cook, who received the Infantry Cup which is awarded to the best military performer in the field.

The Remembrance Parade and Award Ceremony took place at Corby Business Academy and  watched by parents, our CEO, Principals and senior leaders from the Trust secondary academies. The Banner of the CCF was paraded and the cadets formed up in ceremonial parade order before the wreath was placed and the Banner lowered to mark the start of a two-minute silence.

Contingent Commander Capt Matt Isherwood and Angela Reynolds Principal at Corby Technical School presented promotions to cadets moving up the ranks while Simon Underwood, CBA’s Head of School, presented the newest recruits with their berets and half and full stars, which signify they have completed the basic Army proficiency course.

Following the presentations and drill, the contingent rounded off the afternoon’s proceeding with a march-past and salute.

The Waterloo Shield for Endeavour was awarded to LCpl Jack Chisholm from Corby Technical School.

The Best First Year Cadet award was presented to Acting Cpl Tate Eppey from BWA. 

The Best Overall Cadet award was awarded to Cpl Tinashe Ruzane from Corby Technical School. 

The final award was the Infantry Cup. Capt Isherwood said: ‘This is handed to the senior cadet who has led, both on parade times at CBA and also out on our field training weekends. I have great pleasure to present this to Acting Sgt Cook.’

 Afterwards, Oscar, who is in Year 12 at Kettering Science Academy said: ‘This is my third year in cadets. It has given me teamwork skills and I have worked on my individual skills and get to interview some of the cadets when they are signing up. I had hoped, but didn’t expect to get the Infantry Cup so when it was awarded to me I was really chuffed!’

Well done to Oscar who was promoted to Acting Sgt, and also to Cdt Paul Ile, who was promoted to Acting Cpl and was also flag bearer for the Remembrance Parade and drill.
