Welcome to Year 8 Students

Feel free to have a look around the site to get an idea as to what the RAF section gets up to (Training).

Remember this is just the minimum that we have to do and we always go over and above so that YOU get the most out of being a member of the RAF Section.

We are particularly looking forward to recruiting female as well as male students (come on girls show the boys you can do better than them!)

Take a look at the gallery for some of the most recent events all attended by Year 9 - in September it could be you!

Here are the recruitment presentations click the picture to start (it'll take a while ~20Mb):
