From the all-round education set within outstanding facilities to the rich heritage and ethos; there are many reasons why you should consider the Duke of York?s Royal Military School, says Principal Alex Foreman.
The country?s only state full-boarding school, the Duke of York?s Royal Military School (DOYRMS), offers an affordable option for parents seeking a full-boarding environment at a fraction of the cost.
From the moment you enter the 150-acre Kentish parkland estate, you will be amazed at the facilities on offer and the breadth of opportunities students can access. DOYRMS, open to all 11 to 18 year olds, is based on an independent-style model with Saturday morning lessons and co-curricular activities throughout the week and on Saturday afternoons.
However, parents are only required to pay for boarding as the government pays for the education. This means the inclusive boarding fee is only £4,999 per term (£14,997 per year, correct at time of writing), this covers full-boarding, catering, laundry and over 70 clubs and activities per week.
Students benefit from superb facilities and fantastic teachers, which combine to encourage students to achieve academically. Official progress figures for GCSE place DOYRMS in the top 2% of schools nationally. In recognition of the exceptional academic standards, the school has achieved the SSAT Educational Outcomes Award 2020.
