Millfield

Discover Brilliance...

Millfield is a leading co-educational boarding and day school in the UK, located in 240 acres in Street, Somerset. From its foundation in 1935 through to the present day the school has inspired generations of students to immerse themselves in The Millfield Way to discover their personal brilliance. We believe in moulding the school around the child, where excellence in teaching and coaching comes together with the child at the centre. We are at the forefront of re-writing education to fit the needs of the world today and in the future.

Academic
Millfield offers an exceptionally wide range of courses delivered through the Brilliance Curriculum, an innovative, inspiring and connected curriculum that aids student’s understanding and sparks their curiosity. Our academic provision provides a broad and balanced education which not only prepares students for public examinations but also gives them the confidence to achieve success throughout their adult lives. At Millfield students can achieve highly in academics, sports and arts.

Sport
Millfield is home to nearly 60 international youth representatives at any one time and a small number of students go on to compete at professional, Olympic or Paralympic level. Millfield provides students with a lifelong love of sport, whether they are aspiring sportsmen and women, or just partaking socially or recreationally. Our extensive and diverse facilities, along with our blend of specialist coaches and teacher-coaches enable us to provide a centralised programme of sport in training and competition, alongside education and other co-curricular activities. Students benefit from using our world-class, industry leading facilities which include an equestrian centre, Olympic-sized swimming pool, indoor cricket and golf centres, athletics track, multiple sports pitches, fencing salle and tennis centre.

“Whatever Millfield does – and it does almost everything – it does exceptionally well, devoting considerable sums, land and care in recruiting top coaches to its unequalled sporting offer.” – Good Schools Guide Review 2021.

The Arts
Millfield is alive with the arts. With over 75+ performances per year, 30 music ensembles rehearsing each week, 20 drama performances, 35 different dance classes and annual art exhibitions, the school gives every student the opportunity to participate whilst developing personal skills and a cultural appreciation for the arts.

Boarding
Millfield is home to 975 boarders, housed in 19 boarding houses situated on campus or within a short drive. The boarding environment encourages students to live their lives to the full in as many spheres as possible, allowing individuality to flourish. All of our boarders (around 75% of total students) are full boarders and there is a vibrant weekend programme of activities.

“The Millfield support is beyond anything we have experienced elsewhere and the professionalism and level of all staff is exceptional. Millfield for us as parents has been a great experience and we wholeheartedly recommend the school.” - Parent
