This award is not for me it is for everybody who has contributed to the success of the unit, cadets, uniformed and non-uniformed staff, the Unit Management Team, parents, guardians and all our external supporters, without you this would not be possible'.
We are very pleased to announce and would like to say a huge THANK YOU to the BIG LOTTERY FUND, We have successfully secured National Lottery Funding for the development of our IT Infrastructure for the whole unit.

Huge well done to all who entered the Mercia District Rowing Competition on 11th June. Sherbourne have 2 teams and one individual entrant going forward to represent the District at the South West Area Competition on 8th July in Bristol. Parents are encouraged to attend, it is a fantastic day and a brilliant atmosphere.
So come on, lets get behind our kids, they deserve our support!
A chance opportunity afforded itself on the units arrival at Milford Haven this week. Our Padre made a few swift phone calls and we all ended up on a ships tour of HMS Pembroke. Cadets had the opportunity to try out a selection of activities on board and to appreciate the size and work involved in operating a Royal Naval Ship.
Thank you to the Captain and ships crew for your warm welcome, it was a true honour.
