Royal Hospital School, Holbrook

HC Deb 07 December 1945 vol 416 cc2816-7W

Commander Pursey

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty the total number of applications for entry into the Royal Hospital School, Holbrook, at the last entry; the number accepted; and the reasons for the rejections with the number in each category,

Mr. Alexander

One hundred and five applications were received for the present term. Of these, we had to reject 44 on educational and 14 on medical grounds, and in addition, 12 were unacceptable both educationally and medically. Re- cently, however, the medical and educational standards have been reviewed, and these will both be considerably modified by the date of the next examination.
