Lord-Lieutenant’s Cadets

I attended Queenswood School for girls from year 7 to 12 before moving onto North Hertfordshire College in 2018 to study Health and Social Care level 3 as well as having been a part of the RAFAC since 2015.

I attended 1166 (Welwyn Garden City) Squadron in Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire every Tuesday and Thursday, and currently live in Hitchin. From this, I look forward to a career in the RAF as an RAF Medic as well as completing my year as one of the Lord Lieutenant Cadets for Hertfordshire.

My name is Sebastian Routledge. I currently attend Berkhamsted School and I am in my final year of A-levels studying maths, geography and biology.

I joined my schools CCF at age 14 and since then, I have been involved with the RAF section for over four years. During this time I have flown Grob Tutors four times as well as completing my solo and cross country gliding endorsement. As I am in the CCF, I also lead during platoon attacks and TIBUA training with the Army section. I have also had the opportunity to experience damage repair and fire training with the Navy section in Portsmouth.

Over the next year I look forward to getting involved with the Lord Lieutenants duties within the local community.

I am a student at The John Henry Newman School in year twelve studying for my A-levels in the sixth form. Currently I study Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Sociology with aim to study either biomedical sciences or medicine at university.

I have been a member of St. John Ambulance for eight years and am currently a non-commissioned officer in the Stevenage cadet unit where I have been able to adopt a leadership position in the unit by supporting cadets and assisting staff to organise sessions whilst also developing my leadership. I am extremely proud to be a member of the organisation particularly because of the good work St John do in our society.

Within St John I promote volunteering amongst young people and frequently go on duty in order to develop my skills as a first aider within the organisation. I aim to motivate others to celebrate the diversity of young people in Hertfordshire and to overcome discrimination.

I am earnestly grateful and proud to be the first Lord-lieutenant’s cadet in Hertfordshire representing St John and look forward to interacting with many other young people in voluntary and military services.

I am committed to the achievement of high standards and aim to continue the great work of St John Cadets and hope to be an ambassador for young people in Hertfordshire as the Lord-lieutenant’s cadet.
