Name changes
On February 28, 1924 a Boys' Technical School was opened by the War Office. Five years later in 1929 it was renamed Army Technical School (Boys). Several more such schools were opened in the 1930s; in 1947 they changed their names to being the Army Apprentices Schools. The schools were finally renamed as the Army Apprentices Colleges in 1966 (though Arborfield's Army Apprentices College was known as Princess Marina College between 1981 and 1995).
