- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many people from (a) state and (b) independent schools were accepted to the Britannia Royal Naval College in each of the last five years.
- Answer
-
Since January 2019, Britannia Royal Naval College have asked cadets, on a voluntary basis, whether they went to a state or an independent school prior to joining the Royal Navy. Figures provided are based on a question asked at cadet joining interviews. Cadets are under no obligation to answer the question so the figures do not reflect 100% of the intake. The figures for January and May 2019 intake are:
State School 160*
Private School 40*
Served in Ranks First 30*
*Notes:
1. Figures have been rounded to the nearest 10 in line with disclosure control policy. Figures ending in 5 are rounded to the nearest 20 to avoid bias.
2. Figures are a single service estimate provided by Britannia Royal Naval College. As such they have not been validated, are not official statistics produced by Defence Statistics and will differ from total Officer intake published in the Quarterly Service Personnel Statistics.
