About Mpct Military Preparation Schools
The MPCT Skills Academy offers a provision across all the key stages with a focus on a quality curriculum.
Mpct Military Preparation Schools Description
The MPCT Skills Academy is a full curriculum designed for pupils aged 14-16 who are in school and are interested in gaining an insight into life in the Uniformed Public Servicess. The school provides a range of activities including team-building, first aid training and basic fieldcraft, all designed to provide an understanding of the career options available in civilian Public Service and the Armed Forces.
Academic work is based on the students’ individual strengths and abilities. The emphasis is on developing a range of Key Skills which will not only prepare our young people for the wider world and employment, but also accredit their learning with the nationally recognised BTEC Level 2 in Public Services. Our training methods are also borne out of the desire to promote greater individual confidence and to enhance self-esteem. We also offer the curriculum through the medium of Welsh. Students take part in charity events to raise money for those in need - the students are pictured raising money for the Army Benevolent fund.
50% of the course is physical, with the training programme in both Year 10 and 11 demanding pupils to push themselves in a range of settings from the military swim test to the mighty obstacle course in our Rhymney Valleys Centre. The PT programme is progressive and our bib system enables all abilities to participate to the best of their ability only.
At the end of each term, there is an overnight exercise where the students can practise all the skills they have developed on the course. This includes setting up ponchos to form a military camp, cooking in the field, overnight patrols, camouflage and concealment and fitness training. These activities are designed to encourage the students to think for themselves and make decisions in a challenging environment.
Pupils train at the Military Preparation School from one day up to five days per week for a maximum of 2 years as part of their Key Stage 4 education at school. As a member of the 14-19 Pathway provision the Military Preparation School provides education and training that is in keeping with the holistic framework of the Learning Pathways initiative whilst enhancing the provision with our own unique style of hands on learning.

Great day with Pentrehafod STF group. Excellent role play showing effective and ineffective job interview techniques. Excellent PT session with a great game of ‘air hockey’ Well done boys 👍🏻
Only one way to keep warm at YGBM school today and that’s by giving plenty of press ups and sprints. Well done all.
