Welcome to the Military Preparation School. The Military Preparation School (MPS) is a UK wide thriving and distinguished tra ... ining provider that has education and learning as the principle foundation. We support partner schools and local authorities across England and Wales in securing accredited vocational qualifications by using a military ethos as our engagement mechanism. The MPS provision complements the existing school curriculum, through improving school performance measures and implementing a variety and depth of curriculum the school offers. The MPS pedagogy is based upon active learning, both within academic lessons and the application of practical skills. MPS forms part of the Motivation Preparation College for Training (MPCT), which was formed in 1999 in Cardiff by our Chief Executive Officer, Mr Huw Lewis MBE. The vision, has remained constant, and that is to provide outstanding standards of learning in every region of the United Kingdom. In the past 5 years we have been awarded; Ofsted Outstanding in all areas, TES ‘Training provider of the Year’, Times Top 100, Investors In People Platinum and Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Gold. Whether providing outstanding outcomes for schools through learner attainment, or positively impacting a learner’s approach to education, we strive for excellence in every aspect. We have established successful and long lasting partnerships with a range of schools from maintained, independent and specialist sectors. Due to our support structure and diverse curriculum, all schools are able to benefit from our experience and proven record; regardless of school performance indicators. The majority of our learners have no desire or interest in pursuing a military career, but enjoy the unique learning experience and GCSE equivalent qualifications. Our courses follow the academic year, with the majority of learners attending just 1 day per week, with minimal impact or disruption to school timetables. read more
