Queen Victoria School (QVS) is a non-selective, co-educational, boarding school predominantly for children of Scottish servicemen/women (but see full admissions criteria, below) aged 10/11 to 18. It occupies a Scottish Baronial-style building on a rural campus just outside Dunblane, a short distance away from the city of Stirling, Scotland. It is the only school in the United Kingdom managed and funded by the Ministry of Defence (Duke of York's Royal Military School in Kent is now managed by the DfE).[1]
The school is an agency of the MOD.[2] Education Scotland categorises QVS as an independent school.[3]
