This School Guide heat map has been plotted using official pupil data taken from the last School Census collected by the Department for Education. It is a visualisation of where pupils lived at the time of the annual School Census.
Our heat maps use groups of postcodes, not individual postcodes, and have naturally soft edges. All pupils are included in the mapping (i.e. children with siblings already at the school, high priority pupils and selective and/or religious admissions) but we may have removed statistical ‘outliers’ with more remote postcodes that do not reflect majority admissions.
For some schools, the heat map may be a useful indicator of the catchment area but our heat maps are not the same as catchment area maps. Catchment area maps, published by the school or local authority, are based on geographical admissions criteria and show actual cut-off distances and pre-defined catchment areas for a single admission year.
This information is provided as a guide only.
The criteria in which schools use to allocate places in the event that they are oversubscribed can and do vary between schools and over time.
These criteria can include distance from the school and sometimes specific catchment areas but can also include, amongst others,
priority for siblings, children of a particular faith or specific feeder schools. Living in an area where children have previously
attended a school does not guarantee admission to the school in future years. Always check with the school’s
own admission authority for the current admission arrangements.
3 steps to help parents gather catchment information for a school:
Look at our school catchment area guide for more information on heat maps. They give a useful indicator of the general areas that admit pupils to the school. This visualisation is based on all attending pupils present at the time of the annual School Census.
Use the link to the Local Authority Contact (above) to find catchment area information based on a single admission year. This is very important if you are considering applying to a school.
On each school page, use the link to visit the school website and find information on individual school admissions criteria. Geographical criteria are only applied after pupils have been admitted on higher priority criteria such as Looked After Children, SEN, siblings, etc.
Duke of York's Royal Military School Key Information
The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Since your appointment in January 2017, you have worked tirelessly to improve the culture and ethos of the school. A large majority of pupils, staff, parents and carers recognise and appreciate the way you have developed a more inclusive, open and safe environment. As one parent said, ‘The new principal has brought many positive changes in staff, direction and energy.’ Supported by a talented and enthusiastic group of senior and middle leaders, you have made high-quality teaching and learning your key priority, raising teachers’ aspirations of what pupils can do and achieve. As a result, current pupils in all year groups and across subjects are making faster progress. Pupils acknowledge and value the strong levels of support, guidance and care they receive both in lessons and in their boarding houses. Staff know their pupils extremely well, and relationships between them are warm and respectful. In lessons, there is an industrious and purposeful atmosphere and pupils clearly enjoy working collaboratively. Pupils are friendly and polite to visitors and each other and are fiercely proud of and loyal to their school. They value the school’s distinctive military character and are enthusiastic participants in the large and varied range of extra-curricular activities. One pupil noted, ‘There are so many clubs and opportunities for Dukies.’ Consequently, pupils enjoy school and behave in an exemplary way, which has a positive effect on their learning and progress.
Duke of York's Royal Military School Parent Reviews

“Great school”
11 March 2016AUTHOR: simon daglish

The school very kindly accepted my son who is in a wheelchair. The care and support they have given him has been amazing. They have taken a child who could have 'gone into himself' and given him confidence and the will to believe he can achieve great things, which I think he now will. I rate this school as excellent.
“Son very happy”

My son is just completing his first year (Yr 7) at the Duke of York's and I can say that he is very happy and has become very motivated since joining the school.
All good so far!
2015 GCSE RESULTSImportant information for parents
Due to number of reforms to GSCE reporting introduced by the government in 2014, such as the exclusion of iGCSE examination results, the official school performance data may not accurately report a school’s full results. For more information, please see About and refer to the section, ‘Why does a school show 0% on its GSCE data dial? In many affected cases, the Average Point Score will also display LOW SCORE as points for iGCSEs and resits are not included.
