The Duke of York's Royal Military School, (An Academy with Military Traditions) is a full boarding school that will ensure pupils are well looked after and enjoy personal success. The school is suitable for children of UK Armed Forces personnel because we can assure them that weekends are busy and active; that there is comprehensive medical support; that they are not required to move their offspring for frequent exeats; that there are comprehensive travel arrangements and that they can communicate easily with their children often from distant locations.

The school admits pupils between the ages of 11-18. Primarily, these are the children of those serving in the Armed Forces. In addition, all other children with a need for full boarding education may apply.

The term military refers to the school's historic background, and the school is proud to keep its military traditions which incorporate the qualities of leadership, teamwork and a degree of self-reliance that are so important. The Academy specialisms are Science, Sport and Music.

Our school can offer a strong sense of stability for those who move frequently and are working abroad and provides the continuity of education that children need. Our aim is to provide a high quality education for any child admitted to the Academy and who would benefit from a full boarding education.
