<p>Combined Cadet Force (CCF) contingents across the UK in the independent and state
sectors:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Number
of Schools</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>256</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2023</p></td><td><p>536</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>The growth in the number of schools with CCF contingents has been due to the
joint Ministry of Defence/Department for Education Cadet Expansion Programme (CEP)
which was launched by the Government in 2012. Before the CEP, 75% of CCF units were
in independent schools. CEP has prioritised schools in less affluent areas and now
over 60% of CCFs are in state schools.</p><p> </p>
