Army Foundation College: Young People
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many 16 to 18 year olds attended Army Foundation College Harrogate in each of the last five years.
Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones
The annual attendee figures are provided in the table below; all figures have been rounded to the nearest 10.
Courses straddle multiple calendar years, meaning some recruits who joined in one year and remain in attendance the following year will be counted in both years.
Year | Figure |
2020 | 2,810 |
2021 | 2,670 |
2022 | 2,100 |
2023 | 1,990 |
2024 | 2,330 |
Figures include trainees who join Army Foundation College Harrogate and leave within the same month, who would not otherwise appear on the monthly strengths.
