• 35 pupils in Greater Manchester school, before and after joining cadets.
• After having spent time with the Cadets, the participants start behaving better at school.
So What?
• Building block for success:
• Successful schools…realise the importance of getting the basicsright, like attendance and behaviour…failing to put these buildingblocks in place will undermine the effectiveness of the pupil premiumin raising standards.
Supporting the attainment of disadvantaged pupils Briefing for school leaders November 2015 (NfER)
Outcomes: what happens to young people• Government figures show that the average cost of being NEETBetween the ages of 16 to 18 year is estimated to be at least£56,000 in public finance costs and £104,000 in resources costs (lost
labour market potential).
• A 16-17-year-old NEET with no GCSEs at A*to C grades is at thehighest risk of long term disengagement. Evidence shows that beingunemployed at the start of your working life can leave a permanentscar on earning potential.
• Cadet Forces transform some young people from being costs to thetax payer to being positive contributors to society.
