[email protected] Website: www.army.mod.uk xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 22 May 2018 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Dear xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Thank you for your email of 20 April in which you requested the following information: ‘Which schools in the Greater London Authority have members of the British Army visited since 1 January 2015? And what kind of activity were they engaged in on these visits (e.g. recruitment, curriculum-related assemblies, careers, activity days, advice or other categories)? Please can you also provide the date of when each visit was made.’ I am treating your correspondence as a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000. A search for the information has now been completed within the Ministry of Defence, and I can confirm that the information in scope of your request is held and is attached. Please note that as part of the Army in Education outreach programme, the Army has continued to maintain a presence in educational establishments, with the aim of providing advice to young people in academic Year 9 and above on careers in the Army. Activities include careers presentations; curriculum support activities (such as Science, Technology Engineering and Mathematics, preparation for the world of work, mock interviews, and human rights presentations); attendance at Careers Fairs, and Personal Development Activities. The Army does not recruit in schools. The Army only visits educational establishments when specifically invited to do so. If you have any queries regarding the content of this letter, please contact this office in the first instance.
