5000km. 31 days. One incredible cause.

Our very own Housemistress, Miss Lawrence, is joining 11 others as part of the Adtrex 5000 team, taking on an amazing challenge to complete 5,000km in just 31 days — all while raising vital funds to support children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing across Kent and Medway.

🚶‍♀️ Walking
🚴‍♀️ Cycling
🏃‍♀️ Running
🛶 Paddling
🏊‍♀️ Swimming

Together, the team is aiming to raise £3,000 for the fantastic work of the https://www.facebook.com/ylf.org.uk (YLF). They’ve already raised an incredible £1,430 — but there’s still a way to go!

At DOYRMS, we know how important confidence, resilience and the right support are in helping young people thrive. This is a fantastic challenge with a really important message at its heart. 💙

Over the next 31 days, we’ll be following their progress, cheering them on and sharing the training, achievements and, no doubt, a few aches and pains along the way! 😄

If you’d like to support Miss Lawrence and the team, every donation — big or small — will help make a real difference. https://givewheel.com/fundraising/18223/adtrex-5000/

Good luck to the whole Adtrex 5000 team! 5000km starts here! 💪💙

👑 The Royal Colours – A Proud Dukies Tradition 👑

Few schools have the privilege of carrying Royal Colours - a distinction that reflects the Duke of York's Royal Military School's unique military heritage and enduring connection with the Crown.

The Colours are proudly carried on ceremonial occasions, symbolising loyalty, courage, service and the values that have defined generations of Dukies. Each time new Colours are presented, the previous set is laid up in the historic Chapel of Saint Michael and Saint George, where they remain as a lasting tribute to the School's remarkable history. The original Colours, presented in 1825 by King George IV, still hang proudly over the pulpit and lectern.

Our current Royal Colours were presented by HRH The Duke of Kent on Grand Day in 2003, continuing a tradition that remains a source of immense pride for every Dukie. 💙

ARMY vs NAVY TICKETS TO GO ON SALE THIS MONDAY!

A stalwart Dukie event attendee is so disappointed that he is unable to attend the Army v Navy game this year.

If you would like your name to go into the hat for this free ticket, please email Jolyon Marsh ([email protected])

The draw will be made on Friday 22nd March.

🌟 We did it! 🌟 We are thrilled to announce that our Giving Day was an incredible success! Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our students, staff, alumni, parents, and the wider school community, we've raised an astounding £12,000 to refurbish of our swimming pool. A generous member of our alumni has matched £5,000 of this, bringing our overall total to a staggering £57,000!

We are truly blown away by the support show by our Dukie family and the incredible impact this will have on our school. The Dukies' Foundation will continue to seek further external grants to complete our fundraising effort.

There's still time to be a part of this incredible achievement as the donation link will remain live until Friday 22nd March. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference. Thank you all for your incredible support and generosity.
