Royal Navy Instructor Officers

Service Schools

HMS Ganges

Juniors Training 1961
Every Junior, irrespective of category, spends half his time in Academic Training at school, where for thirty-four weeks he undergoes a course in Mathematics, Mechanics, Magnetism and Electricity, Science, English, Navigation, Naval History and Commonwealth Geography. The course is designed to further the education of a Junior and assist him in taking his place in the modern Navy. Consequently, out of the 118 officers serving in H.M.S. Ganges, fifty-two are Instructor Officers, the majority of whom, besides their teaching duties, are also attached to Divisions for assistance in sporting activities, whilst a few serve as Assistant Divisional Officers and others organise clubs and hobbies for the benefit of all Juniors.

Gibraltar

Gibraltar, identity and empire By Edward G. Archer

In 1976, a study-group was established to look at the issues arising from a possible transfer of the College to local control. Financial questions appear to be have been at the heart of the deliberations which were to continue for a few years yet. It was in 1984 that Octavio Victory, a Gibraltarian with a varied career in education - technical teacher, education officer - was appointed Principal. He took over from the last Royal Navy Principal, Instructor Commander R Hutchings, some months before the formal handing of the College to local control. As the transfer grew closer, the expertise of the Further Education Staff College at Coombe Lodge in the United Kingdom was sought. Two members of staff went to Coombe Lodge for a few weeks and staff from Coombe Lodge went out to Gibraltar to deliver a course for all the staff of the College, senior managers from the secondary comprehensive schools also being invited to attend.

Malta

Malta The History of The Royal Naval School TAL HANDAQ

Few of the present members of the school are familiar with the history of Tal-Handaq. We reveal it here in this final Tal Handaq school magazine, from an account which appeared in the midsummer 1953 edition by Cdr A J Bellamy. We are indebted to Capt M F Law, MA, Royal Navy, some time Head of Mathematics and later Headmaster of the school, for a continuation of the school's history.

WW2 People's War
Most of the teachers were Naval Officers. I was in the infant’s department for two years and liked the teachers bar one who always criticised my drawings and as art was one of my favourite subjects I wasn’t too happy about that. They wore Naval uniform - white shirts with epaulettes on their shoulders, white shorts and long white socks to the knee. Some of the teachers were women, wives of the officers. I still have some of my old reports which said I was good at reading and that my writing was neat and I had a good imagination. I remember the old Beacon readers with the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff and the Troll under the bridge. Oh, how I hated those repetitive stories, I wanted to know what happened, not hear the same sentences over and over again.

Mauritius

HMS Mauritius
Lt. Cdr. Richard K. WOOD, RN (Retd), (1924-31
I was in the Royal Navy (as a "Schoolmaster" later Instructor Lieutenant Cdr.) my last appointment was to HMS Mauritius (on Mauritius Island ) an RN Signal Station and where I was in charge and Headmaster of the RN Children's School. This was an all-age school and I had to cope with steadily increasing numbers of RN personnel being brought out from UK , many of whom were accompanied by wives and children. The numbers in my school rose during my 2 years there from about 35 to 70. I also had to teach the ratings for RN educational exams, ETs 1 & 2, which were very elementary; to HET which was equivalent to GCSE. It was mainly Maths, Science, Naval History and English.

The items about "Major" CLARK were interesting, particularly when I was in the Royal Navy (as a "Schoolmaster" later Instructor Lieutenant Cdr.) my last appointment was to HMS Mauritius (on Mauritius Island ) an RN Signal Station and where I was in charge and Headmaster of the RN Children's School. This was an all-age school and I had to cope with steadily increasing numbers of RN personnel being brought out from UK , many of whom were accompanied by wives and children.

I also had to teach the ratings for RN educational exams, ETs 1 & 2, which were very elementary; to HET which was equivalent to GCSE. It was mainly Maths, Science, Naval History and English. When I retired from the Navy, I applied for and had an interview with the Head (Hamilton) and the overall head of Science, Mann, for a teaching post in the Physics Department. But my qualifications and experience, even being an "old Boy"
