The cadets dedicated time to enhance their drill skills, even sacrificing breaks and lunchtimes. Additionally, they devoted the Saturday prior to the event to meticulous uniform preparation. The team faced diverse challenges – individual, small team, and squad-based – spanning Air Rifle, First Aid, Aircraft Recognition, Command Task, RAF General Knowledge, and Drill/Uniform. Achieving tenth place out of twelve on their first attempt is a commendable feat. Next, they will prepare for Wing Training Day in April 2024, competing against ATC squadrons from Lancashire and Cumbria. These experiences offer invaluable learning opportunities! **Tags:** [CCF](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/tag/ccf) [Sixth Form](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/tag/sixth-form) [2023-2024](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/tag/2023-2024) [RAF](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/tag/raf) [Senior School](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/tag/senior-school) - [ previous](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/2023-12-11-sports-reports) - [next ](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/2023-12-13-singing-for-pleasure-pupils-enjoy-a-delightful-afternoon-spreading-festive-cheer-at-the-m) - [Mission Statement](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/mission-statement) - [Latest News](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news) - [History of KGS](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/history) - [Location & Community](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/location) - [Term Dates](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/termdates) - [Statutory Information](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/statutory-information) - [School Policies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/policy-documents) - [Calendar](https://calendar.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/week.aspx?ID=158) - [The Kirkhamian](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news-1/the-kirkhamian) - [The Friends of KGS](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/thefriends-of-kgs) - [Old Kirkhamians' Association](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/old-kirkhamians-association) - [Hire of Facilities](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/hire-of-facilities) - [Vacancies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/vacancies/our-vacancies) ## Kirkham Grammar School ## Kirkham Grammar Junior, Infant & Pre-School Ribby Rd Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BH Tel: **01772 684264** Email: Ribby Road Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BD Tel: **01772 673222** Email: [![HMC Leading Independent Schools](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/hmc.png)](https://www.hmc.org.uk/)[![Boarding Schools' Association](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/bsa.png)](http://www.boarding.org.uk/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Kirkham Grammar School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
