Millfield is distinctively different. 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. Millfield has the resource and attitude to bring together key staff to provide an education and experience that honours the individual child at the centre. This doesn’t happen in other schools. Academic study, cultural and sporting endeavours set every student on the path to success.

Millfield is one of the leading UK independent schools for boys and girls, aged 2-18 years. Millfield is not like other schools and never has been. Millfield believe in shaping the school around the child, where excellence in teaching and coaching comes together with the child at the centre.

In recent Millfield years we have seen a significant increase in the number of applicants from Millfield to overseas universities, in particular USA and Canadian universities. 29 students secured places at USA or Canadian universities and two Old Millfieldian also took up places. A further 10 students secured offers to US universities but declined them. Millfield provides specialist guidance for applications to American universities and employs a Tutor in Charge, a SAT advisor and a Virginian Fellow. They ensure candidates get the best possible advice and are guided throughout the process. Millfield is also one of few SAT centres in the UK which means that pupils do not need to leave the campus to take their SAT entry exam. The most popular were Stanford, Columbia, Chicago, UCLA, San Francisco, Indiana Bloomington, Amherst and Berklee. Many achieved a mixture of academic and sporting scholarships, including swimming, tennis, golf, hockey and rugby.
