Millfield offers a very broad and balanced curriculum, with a flexible choice of subjects for GCSEs, A levels (or equivalent) and BTECs.
Games and The Arts
Our unrivalled facilities include a concert hall, theatre, art gallery, equestrian centre, an Olympic-size swimming pool and brand-new cricket and golf centres. Millfield aims to ensure that every student is individually supported to discover their brilliance.
The care of each individual student is central to the philosophy of pastoral care at Millfield. Small tutor groups provide an environment for all students to meet others, seek guidance and support from their tutor and to experience the Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education programme (PSHEE). Each tutor group is attached to a house, and all students can access the Housemaster/Housemistress (one per boarding house) and Assistant Housemaster/Housemistress.
2019 – 46% of leavers achieved places at Russell Group and The Times top 30 group universities.
Head Teacher’s Philosophy
- Discover brilliance in every child.
- Be the world’s best at immersing students in limitless academic, artistic and sporting opportunities.
- Be the market leader in providing transformational bursaries.
- At Millfield we recognise that the world and the way in which education is provided are changing, and we change with them. We are not shackled by tradition like many other schools and are not afraid to challenge the status quo. All students are given the opportunity to be curious and to discover brilliance in the classroom, on the sports field, in the arts and the community.
- A rigorous academic programme is supported by strong extra-curricular activities in the arts, drama, music and sport.
- New state-of-the-art cricket and golf centres.
- Sporting excellence: we were the most represented school at the 2012 Olympics.
