The opening ceremony of our joint CCF in partnership with La Retraite Roman Catholic Girls’ School took place just before the end of term.

We were honoured that our inspecting officer was Commodore Ellie Ablett MBE, one of the highest-ranking women in the Royal Navy. The Mayor of Lambeth attended, and also Cllr Nanda Manley-Browne who is a former pupil of La Retraite. Both Head Masters spoke about the fantastic opportunity that this unique joint CCF affords the girls at both schools through working together and we look forward to their combined endeavour.
