Cadets from Southmoor Academy CCF have been shown the ropes at Sunderland Wall.

The evening session, which took place alongside a community Air Training Corps Squadron, allowed cadets to get to grips with the basics of indoor rock climbing, including: safety equipment, climbing techniques and even the opportunity to belay for their peers.

Over the next term, there will be many opportunities for our cadets to participate in adventure training such as climbing, mountain biking and archery.

If you’re interested in joining the Combined Cadet Force, look out for our recruitment window which will be advertised soon. Alternatively, if you’d like more information, come and speak to Fight Lieutenant Yeo or Pilot Officer Carney in Southmoor House on a Monday evening after school.
