Since its inception in 1983, this highly anticipated event has brought together cadets from both independent and state schools across the UK, fostering teamwork, discipline, and fieldcraft expertise.
This year, 19 schools participated, with teams of nine cadets each competing in a range of physical and tactical challenges. These included the iconic Royal Marines Assault and Endurance Courses, Urban CQB, Section Attacks, Contact Drills, and Camouflage and Concealment. Cadets were also tested on their drill skills and their knowledge of Royal Marines Corps history. For newer sections, the event served as both competition and valuable training.
After a hard-fought weekend, Sherborne School emerged as the overall winner, with Canford as runners-up. In the lower tier, designed for first-time entrants, Millfield took the top spot, followed by Blundells.
A massive thank you to the Department of Community Corrections team and the command staff at CTCRM for their incredible support in making this event a success.
Congratulations to all cadets and teams for showcasing the true spirit of the Royal Marines!
