The Royal School, Armagh is a co-educational Grammar school in the city of Armagh in Northern Ireland. The Headmaster, Paul Crute, is a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference HMC. The Royal School is a voluntary grammar school of ancient foundation. It has a Boarding Department with an international intake and is similar to the former English public schools of the Direct grant grammar school type. ==History== One of a number of ''free schools'' created by King James I of England & Ireland, James VI of Scotland in 1608, the school was to provide an education to the sons of local merchants and farmers during the plantation of Ulster. It has four "sister" schools: Royal School Dungannon, in Dungannon, County Tyrone, Portora Royal School in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, the Royal School Cavan in County Cavan, and the Royal and Prior School in Raphoe, County Donegal.. The school is academically very strong and, in November 2013, was placed 78th in 'The Sunday Times Top 200 UK Schools Guide' for results at A level and GCSE combined. In May 2014, an inspection by the Education and Training Inspectorate found the leadership and management of the school to be 'outstanding'. Originally intended to be sited at Mountnorris in south Armagh, the turbulent situation in Ulster at the time led to a move to the relative safety of Armagh city. Despite this, an early headmaster of the school, John Starkey, and his family, were drowned by insurgents during the 1641 Rebellion.〔(Royal School Armagh )〕 The school arrived at its current site on College Hill in the 1770s.〔(History of the Royal School – The Royal School Armagh )〕 A boys' school from its inception, the Royal School was amalgamated with Armagh Girls' High School in 1986 to become co-educational.〔(INFORMATION FOR PARENTS – 2011–2012 SECONDARY DEPARTMENT )〕 Every pupil is assigned to one of four houses (Darcy, Rokeby, Beresford and Armstrong) which are all named after former Church of Ireland Archbishops. Successive Archbishops have chaired the Board of Governors for over four centuries. In 2008, the Royal School celebrated its quatercentenary along with the four other 1608 Royal Schools. To mark the occasion, H.M. The Queen and H.R.H The Duke of Edinburgh visited the school. A history of the 1608 Royal Schools was produced in the same year by former Headmaster, Mr Thomas Duncan.
