Outstanding
GCSE Results at The Duke of York’s Royal Military School
Students at The Duke of York’s Royal Military School are once again
celebrating a year of exceptional success in their GCSE examinations, with nearly
a third of all entries achieving a grade 9-7. 79% of students achieved a grade
4 or above in both English and Mathematics. This year’s results reflect the
hard work, determination, and ambition of Dukies, with a significant number
earning coveted academic and sports scholarships as they move into Sixth Form.
Principal Alex Foreman commended students and staff alike, stating: "We
are incredibly proud of our students' achievements. As one of the
top-performing non-selective boarding schools in the country, we are delighted
to see so many Dukies choosing to continue their journey with us into Sixth
Form. Our university-style boarding environment, alongside our academic and
enrichment programmes, offers a truly unique education. Students thrive here –
not just academically, but as confident, well-rounded individuals prepared for the
future path they choose."
This year, 13 students were awarded academic scholarships for outstanding
GCSE performance, while 7 received sports scholarships recognising their
talent, commitment, and leadership on and off the field. 4 of these students
will join the school’s elite Rugby Performance Pathway, delivered in
partnership with Ealing Trailfinders – a testament to the school’s dedication
to developing athletic as well as academic excellence.
Among the many outstanding achievements this year are Samuel McLay, who
earned six grade 9s and three grade 8s; Bijes Rai, with three grade 9s, four
grade 8s and two grade 7s; Nina Umeh, who achieved four grade 9s, one grade 8
and four grade 7s; Chidera Achomadu, who secured two grade 9s, four grade 8s
and three grade 7s; and Parisha Rai, who secured one grade 9, five grade 8s and

The school’s distinctive ethos, combined with small class sizes, exceptional
education, and outstanding opportunities, continues to support students to
exceed expectations and reach their full potential.
Applications to the school are welcome, with academic scholarships
available for external applicants.
