Millfield School

Millfield is a leading co‑educational boarding and day school, for ages 13-18, located in 240 acres of Somerset countryside. The school offers a diverse range of subjects, sports, creative arts and activities, supported by outstanding facilities including an Olympic sized pool, equestrian centre, indoor golf and cricket centres, 350-seat concert hall, a theatre, art gallery and science centre. With small class sizes of around 8-16, excellent teachers and expert sports coaches, every student is individually supported to discover their brilliance across all aspects of school life. Students and staff live by the school values: Be Kind, Be Authentic, Be Disruptors, Be Curious and Be Brilliant. Millfield is home to 995 boarders from 75 different countries, who share all aspects of school life, offering a rich cultural diversity that all students and staff embrace and learn from.

Full boarders enjoy a weekend programme filled with exciting activities and trips. Boarding houses are the place where most students make long-lasting friendships and receive the support and guidance of a team of dedicated staff to guide them through their time at school. All houses have a resident Housemaster or Housemistress (HsM), an Assistant HsM who also live onsite, and matrons and non-resident tutors who provide boarders with a warm and supportive atmosphere. Boarders also have access to a well-staffed Medical Centre, counselling service and the Spiritual Director.

Millfield’s alumni include footballer Romeo Beckham, Olympic and Commonwealth gold medallist swimmer James Guy, England Rugby players Chris Robshaw and Sir Gareth Edwards and Rio 2016 Olympic medallist Helen Glover.
