EDUCATION
The Duke of York’s Royal Military School
Live away from home while studying for your
A Levels
Sixth Form is potentially one of the most crucial
parts of a person’s education. It helps to define
your personality and character; it’s a time when
you’re discovering an independent sense of
direction and purpose, and more importantly, a
time when you’re beginning to allow your
individuality to shine through.
The school sees boarding and living away from
home for the first time as an important stepping
stone to University and your adult life.
The staff members who support you are
passionate to ensure that each and every student
embraces a crucial sense of possibility in what
they can achieve, and has the ambition and
confidence to drive themselves forward to be the
best they can possibly be.
DOYMS Sixth Formers share common aims
The opportunity, guidance and support that Sixth
Form at The Duke of York’s Royal Military School
offers is invaluable. Centenary House students
share common aims: to develop academic rigour,
close friendships, career ambitions and
independence in a caring and lively environment.
New students are made very welcome
There is no glass ceiling if you are new in the
Sixth Form. All positions of responsibility are open
to you from becoming a prefect to playing a key
role in the Ceremonial part of school life. Managing
your own time, motivating yourself and taking
responsibility for independent study are all

essential for success. It is also a time when the
school will support you as you make important
decisions about your future career.
Dukies helping Dukies
The school wants their Sixth Formers to be fully
involved in school life, and to act as respected
members of a happy and thriving boarding
community. Remember that being a Dukie is very
special and past students are fully committed to
developing a Dukie network with The Dukies’
Association.
