The Naval Education Service was a branch of the British Royal Navy which both provided education for naval personnel and ran schools for children of Royal Navy personnel.
History[]
It was originally known as the Department of Naval Education[1] of the Admiralty from 1914 until 1951 when it was renamed the Naval Education Service. It was under the control of the Office of the Second Sea Lord.[2] It was abolished in 1978. Some of its functions have now been taken over by Service Children's Education.
The Director of Education (later Adviser on Naval Education) was a civilian employed within the Admiralty who was responsible for providing advice on non-professional education from 1903 until 1936, when naval officers took over responsibility.[3]
