The PHOEBE program based on the Wilson-Devinney algorithm was used to analyze the first complete BVRcIc light curves. It was found that V380 Cas was misclassified and it is a well-detached system consisting of two main-sequence stars. A range of solutions found to give satisfactory fits to the observations is also investigated. The first orbital solution based on the photometric mass ratio q=1.08 of almost equal temperatures and masses and orbital inclination of i=86.57° was obtained. In addition, based on all available times of light minima, including 12 new ones, a new orbital period of P=2.714539884 days is given. Description: First time CCD photometric observations were obtained with the 35.5cm f/6.3 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope at the University of Patras Observatory for 18 nights from 2009 July to November and 16 nights from 2010 July to August. The standard Johnson-Cousin-Bessel set of BVRcIc filters was mounted. The FWHM of the stellar image varied from 2.5 to 5 pixels during the observations. To investigate the variations of orbital period of V380 Cas we compiled all available light minimum timings up to date, from 1899 to 2011, that together with our 12 new CCD observations consist of a total of 175 (17 visual, 127 photographic, 26 CCD and 5 photoelectric) times of minimum light which are listed in Table 4.
