Naval Education Service

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. It was the Education Department of the Admiralty until 1951. It was abolished in 1978. Its school functions have now been taken over by Service Children's Education.
