Last night our current Fourth Form (Recruit Platoon) were awarded their berets on completion of training. This started last October and covered Skill at Arms, Fieldcraft, Navigation, Drill and Military Knowledge. The Head Master awarded them their new Yorkshire Regiment Berets.
In addition, Andrew and Serene were promoted to LCpl and Andrew was awarded the Best Recruit.
We also took the opportunity to promote to Sergeant, next year's Head of CCF (Sgt Ella Roebuck).
This was also Captain T Smith's (MBE) last night of training after 6 years with St Peter's as he moves on to pastures new. We thank Captain T Smith for all his hard work over the years. He will be greatly missed!
Mr Jeremy Walker, Head Master, said "You should be very proud of yourselves. Congratulations."
Serene, LCpl said - "It was so unexpected. I tried really hard with my weapon handling."
Alfred Martin, Old Peterite and cadet, said "All credit to these cadets. I'm honoured to work with them. Covid restricted access to training but now we're back in full force."
