ADVERTISING FEATURE Great Opportunities at the Duke of York’s
The Duke of York’s Royal Military School will provide your child with a quality education and the precise security, stability and support that’s needed for service children during their time at the school. They will make special friendships and will value the qualities of community life that will prepare them well for their future careers.
All the pupils in the school are full-time boarders aged 11-18 years of age. Superbly resourced, the school is situated in an attractive 150-acre site between Dover and Canterbury. It has an excellent academic record and specialises in science, sport, outdoor education and music. Opportunities abound for pupils to excel in a wide range of activities. Last year the school’s Military Band was asked to attend the Armed Forces Day in Chatham and last Christmas the choir was featured on the Chris Evans show on BBC radio 2 and on ITV’s This Morning having recorded a version of the Military wives song ‘Wherever You Are’.
Our pupils enjoy Combined Cadet Force activities from Year 9 to 13, and they have many opportunities to develop their leadership and team working skills. Military parades and ceremonies remain at the heart of our school.
You can register your child from 8 years old (Y4) and we prefer applications for Year 7 to be registered by 31st October for the next school year in September. The school is non- selective, but all pupils are invited to a ‘suitability for boarding’ interview with the Headmaster. We offer Taster Weekends if your child would like to experience boarding life to see if they like it, and we encourage you to visit us to see what an extraordinary school we are.
The Duke of York’s Royal Military School was founded by the ‘Grand Old’ Duke of York in 1803 in Chelsea and was Britain’s first co-educational state-funded and state- administered school. In 1825 the school was granted by King George IV the distinction of carrying Colours, similar to those borne by infantry regiments. In 1909 the school moved to its present location in Dover. In September 2010 the school became an Academy with Military Traditions, sponsored by the MoD. Visit
