The Duke of York's Royal Military School

A co-educational boarding school for students aged 11-18

Fees & Scholarships

Our fees are extremely competitive. Because we are a state boarding school, you will only pay for the boarding provision – not your child’s education (which is paid for by the state). Your child will enjoy the lifestyle of an independent school but at a fraction of the cost.

Boarding Fees

Our Boarding fees for the academic year 2023-2024 are £6,320 per term (£18,960 per annum). The fees are subject to annual review.

If you are in the Armed Forces and qualify for Continuity of Education Allowance, you will only pay 8% of the fee, £506 per term (£1,517 per annum). 

Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA) is available to help Service personnel achieve continuity of education for their child that would otherwise be denied in the maintained school sector if their children accompanied them on frequent assignments both at home and overseas. 

The Education Advisory Team (UK) provides information and advice to Service families and eligible MOD civilians on all aspects of the education of their children in the UK.

They can be contacted by email on: RC-DCS-HQ-EAT@mod.gov.uk

We endeavour to keep any additional costs to a minimum (for example pupil accident insurance will appear on the termly bill). There will also be a House Account to cover pocket money and any small expenses during term time.

To avoid any surcharge, we ask that termly fees are settled on the first day of term.
