Sorry to hear you went through that. I went to a UK military boarding school (by choice) for A-levels and I agree with the above, in our case the issues were always caused by student on student. There was stories of what it used to be like “in the old days” and how the college was softer now and would produce weaker officers in the long run. I have no idea if it was true or just internal rumours but the leadership at the time was very focussed on pastoral care, academic excellence and ingraining the foundations of leadership and integrity with (looking back) not that much military-ness to it. I look back with very fond memories, it was tough but not in a nasty way, more just a “high expectations and packed schedule” way. I was the last year to be Army only, after that they opened it up to all three military services and civil service along with moving to a new purpose build facility - leaving behind the old abbey it had been based at for 50 years. I imagine that that cleared out any remaining vestiges of a less pleasant past.
