ATC Pirbright and Royal Military Academy
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to support (a) the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and (b) ATC Pirbright in Surrey Heath constituency.
Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones
The Department is committed to supporting both the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst (RMAS) and ATC Pirbright
At ATC Pirbright, £7 million is being invested immediately to upgrade accommodation, with a further £400 million planned over the next seven years to enhance facilities. This will enable Pirbright to take on over 50% of the Army’s Regular Basic Training, following the closure of the Army Training Regiment Winchester next year.
At RMAS, which trains all Army Officers and hosts several key Defence organisations, significant investment has also been made for its sporting facilities, including £3 million for two new 3G pitches that are available for any Army unit to use.
