Combined Cadet Force
We are very proud at Stationers’ Crown Woods Academy that we have been able to open a Royal Marines contingent of the Combined Cadet Force (CCF). This venture has only been made possible through the generous sponsorship of The Stationers’ Company and Greenwich Hospital. Members have worked tirelessly on this project to bring it to fruition.
Speaking on behalf of the Stationers’ Company, Past Master, Helen Esmonde said: “The Stationers’ Company have a long and proud association with the Royal Marines. For this reason, there was a strong and natural wish to set up a Royal Marine CCF at the Academy. We hope this will become a source of inspiration for the students for many years to come. This has been made possible by support from the Corps of the Royal Marines, Greenwich Hospital, Leigh Academy Trust and Stationers’ Crown Woods Academy.”
”Greenwich Hospital is the largest and oldest Royal Navy charity, with long historic traditions and links in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. We are very excited to be working with the Stationers’ Company, the Corps of Royal Marines, and Stationers’ Crown Woods Academy in supporting the initiative to establish a Royal Marines Combined Cadet Force detachment. We believe this project will bring a whole new dimension to the Academy, to its life and its students. Above all, we believe that it will greatly enhance the lives of all who earn their place in the Detachment.” Hugh Player, CEO, Greenwich Hospital.
Stationers’ Crown Woods Academy are now one of only 24 schools in the whole of the United Kingdom to have a Royal Marines cadet contingent.
The CCF is a uniformed organisation, badged and affiliated to the Royal Marines and sponsored by the Ministry of Defence, in a join initiative between the MOD and DFE. Students who join the CCF will wear the uniform of the Royal Marines.
The annual programme of training includes weekly training afternoons, one weekend away each term, an adventure training camp and an annual camp each July at the Commando Training Centre in Devon. All uniform and equipment (with the exception of boots) is provided free of charge and the majority of activities are either free or heavily subsidised by the MOD. Training includes field craft (learning the art of outdoor living and survival), military skills, weapon handling and shooting, fitness, navigation, first aid, drill and turnout, training afloat on a variety of boats and adventure training activities (climbing, mountaineering, camping, etc)
The aim of the CCF is to provide a disciplined organisation within a school so that young people may develop powers of leadership by means of training, in order to promote the qualities of responsibility, self-reliance, resourcefulness, team work, endurance, perseverance and a sense of service to the community.
Training takes place every Monday from 3pm – 5pm. Membership of the CCF is open to all members of the Academy community currently in Years 10, 11 and 12. Training is delivered by adults from within the Academy who have joined the CCF and by members of the Royal Marines Youth Training Team.
Students who are interested in finding out more about the CCF in SCWA please speak to Mr Wilson in Arden. He can give you more information, a joining form and a uniform measurements form. As a new member of the CCF you may already be a member of the ACF, ATC or SCC, in which case you could be selected to join the leadership cadre and become one of the contingent’s junior NCOs.
For further details about the CCF, take a look at the national CCF website.

Directly Licenced Centre
The Academy is a Directly Licenced Centre which provides us with the flexibility to run the award at many levels and at a cost which is kept as low as possible. We have also been able to access funding for equipment and staff training meaning that we now have staff who are qualified to supervise and assess expeditions. This massive expansion would not have been possible without the support of staff from across the Academy and the Stationers’ Company, who enabled us to improve the quality of our expedition offer with the integration of GPS tracking technology.
Stationers’ Crown Woods Academy is one of the largest providers of the Duke of Edinburgh programme in Greenwich and one of few schools to offer students the opportunity to progress through all three levels of the award.
Award Levels
Bronze Award
In Year 9 bronze participants complete 3-6 months of their individual volunteering, skills and physical opportunities. These activities have given students a sense of responsibility; developed their independence and encouraged them to try something new. The expeditions in the North Downs have been a huge success and given many participants a real taste and enthusiasm for continuing onto the Silver Award.
Silver Award
In Year 10 silver participants complete 6-12 months of their individual volunteering, skills and physical sections showing a sustained and long-term commitment to helping others and trying something new. This experience and the Award more generally will help them massively as they move into further study and hopefully they will complete their Gold Award in the future.
On their three day expeditions to Alfriston on the South Downs groups are required to demonstrate significant perseverance and a positive attitude towards failure.
Gold Award
In Years 12 and 13 gold participants complete 6-18 months of their individual volunteering, skills and physical sections, demonstrating significant commitment to their personal development and that of their community. They also independently arrange and engage with a residential programme.
On their four day expeditions participants will be challenged to navigate down the Kennet and Avon canals and the River Thames in Bell Boats. Working together in groups of up to 8 students in order to ensure a successful journey and spending four days involved in self-sufficient travel.
