Notes for editors
The Duke of York’s Royal Military School was established in 1803 by the then Duke of York to care for the orphans of soldiers and moved, in 1909, to its present 150-acre site in the Kent countryside. As a boarding school, it offers a high-quality continuity of education and pastoral care and is popular with parents serving in the Armed Forces. Since becoming an academy in 2010 and opening its doors to all students, the school has welcomed an increasing number of students from across Kent and Sussex in all year groups.
Successful old Dukies of the School include: James Jones, former Bishop of Liverpool; Simon Daglish founder of the Walking with the Wounded Charity and Deputy Managing Director, Commercial, of ITV; the late Maurice Colclough, Rugby Lions and England International Rugby Union player and Tom Athron, CEO of Fortnum & Mason.
