yes this is one Royal Air Force College Cranwell
Sleaford, Lincolnshire NG34 8HB
England
The above is slightly misleading:
The RAF College Cranwell is the Royal Air Force's officer training establishment - not, therefore, strictly a "school" (as in an institution for the education of children/ young people aged below the legal age of full adult consent - 18 years in the UK), but rather an institution providing entry level training for potential officers; fully consenting adults aged 18 years or over, most of whom (90%+) will be university graduates; average age of entrants to Cranwell is 24 years. The basic commissioning course lasts 32 weeks, upon successful completion of which newly commissioned RAF officers then proceed to specialist training: eg as aircrew; engineering, logistics, communications, intelligence specialists, or something else such as the RAF Regt, Physical Training officers, or medical services etc..
Cranwell is the RAF equivalent of the Royal Navy's Britannia Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, and the Army's Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst.
The UK does have two "military schools": the Duke of York's Royal Military School, Dover, which provides government subsidised boarding school education for the children (aged 11-18 years) of serving or retired members of the armed forces. The ethos of the school is mildly "military" - eg all pupils have to participate in the "Combined Cadet Force"(typically a half day's military training a week, plus about one weekend a month "in the field") , and there is considerable emphasis on outdoor education/ adventure training, but the head teacher and most of the teachers are civilians (although many have served in the armed forces), and pupils follow a normal academic curriculum identical to most secondary schools in the UK. Attendance at the Duke of York's imposes no adult military service obligations: many ex pupils (30-50%) do subsequently join the armed forces, but just as many do not.
The other military school is Welbeck College, which provides free 6th Form (ie aged 16-18 years; focused on university preparation) education (with a particular emphasis on Maths, Science, & technical subjects) for selected individuals who are committed to a career in either the Armed Forces or Ministry of Defence (Civil Service) scientific & technical branches. Admission to Welbeck is competitive and selective: candidates have to demonstrate not only commitment to the Armed Forces, but also above average academic potential, especially in maths & science, and strong "character" and leadership potential. They must also be physically fit, in excellent general health, and it helps a lot if they're active in sports (especially team games!) and outdoor pursuits.
The ethos of Welbeck is very military (uniforms; highly disciplined; extensive military, physical, & leadership training as well as academics), and upon completion of their two years there the overwhelming majority of pupils will have qualified for entrance to both the appropriate service officer training establishments and a university. They then proceed to university (subsidised by the MOD, & whilst at University they must be members of the Officer Training Corps or RN/ RAF equivalents, and undergo a specified amount of military training during vacations etc), and upon graduation (usually in mathematical/ computer science, or engineering and science subjects) enter officer training. Most "Welbexians" want a full military career, but are obliged, I think, to serve a minimum of eight years after university graduation and commissioning.
