ATTENTION: Exmouth Community College pupils were made to stand to attention when their regular teachers were replaced by the Army.

Soldiers visited the college to set a series of tasks for pupils, testing them on their communication, team work, mental and physical skills.

A college spokesperson said: “The college has long standing relationships with the Army and the Royal Marines, and our students gain a great deal through meeting and working with members of both forces.”
