Gateways School CCF is a new contingent, that started in September 2019 under the Cadet Expansion Programme and is partnered with Horsforth School. Starting with just an Army Section, we are cap badged under the Royal Army Medical Corps.

Day 1 of summer camp with 160 Bde CTT. An excellent start to the week with a day on the ranges. @Gatewaysschool @HorsforthSchool

Tea and medals time... @Gatewaysschool CCF achieve the Cadet Cambrian Patrol Bronze medal. The team receive their medals from the Deputy Commander 160 (Welsh) Brigade. A proud moment and great sense of achievement for completing one of the hardest events an Army Cadet can do.

Meanwhile back at the ranch... The team breathe a sigh of relief that it's over... for this year! All smiles through tired and aching feet, legs, arms, head and body... After over 25 km patrolling with tasks in between, what doesn't ache!? @Gatewaysschool @HorsforthSchool

Objective cleared of all enemy... All casualties evacuated safely. The section weren't strech(er)ed to their limits! @Gatewaysschool @HorsforthSchool

Those boots were made for walking and when the going got tough, the tough got going. @Gatewaysschool CCF Cambrian Patrol '23 team on their way to the forming up point (FUP) before taking on the final objective. @HorsforthSchool
