Millfield Prep School is the perfect starting point for any family hoping to discover and nurture their child’s individual talents. With over 110 boarders from age 7 up to 12 and from 19 different nationalities, Millfield Prep is a rare and exciting environment full of possibilities for young children. The school is within an hour drive from both Bristol and Exeter airports.
Unique to many other boarding schools, boarders at Millfield Prep enjoy a full weekend programme of activities after compulsory Saturday lessons, taking part in over 20 different sports including sailing, tennis and horse-riding. The facilities are unrivalled: pupils have unlimited access to the on campus equestrian centre, swimming pool and golf course at the 200 acre site in Glastonbury, as well as the world-class provision at Millfield which includes a 50m
Olympic swimming pool and industry leading indoor golf and cricket centres.
“My daughter says that even if the school was next door to our house, she would still want to board, which is a lovely testament to the care the children receive at Millfield
Prep.” Millfield Prep boarding parent.
Academically, Millfield Prep pupils regularly perform well above the national average with recent Year 8 pupils scoring 21% in the Nationally Standardised Science progress tests, against a national average of 4%. From age seven, pupils begin learning French, Spanish and Latin with non-native English speakers able to seek additional support through the school’s well-resourced English as an Additional Language (EAL) department. Extra-curricular Mandarin and Russian are available to all years by private arrangement.
Ninety-five percent of Millfield Prep pupils move up to Millfield Senior School at the end of Year 8, where Millfield Prep students are automatically allocated a place: meaning children can be entirely focused on their education with no re-entry examinations or tests. Well-known former Millfield Prep students include Belgian-British racing driver Lando Norris, who is currently competing in Formula One with McLaren, British Olympic swimmer James Guy and singer Ella Eyre.
