Why Choose Millfield Prep?
Preparing individuals for whatever they choose to do in life
We offer an extraordinary, and probably unmatched, experience to the children who join us. Set in 140 acres of beautiful Somerset countryside, nestled beneath the awe inspiring and mystical Glastonbury Tor, near to the historic town of Glastonbury and the ancient Roman town of Bath, Millfield Preparatory School is the perfect place for young people to learn and to develop as human beings. We were founded on the explicit belief that children are unique individuals who deserve the highest standards of care and attention. We are a friendly School which can offer each child a breadth and depth of experience in every aspect of their lives. We encourage them to be considerate, generous and tolerant of others, to do well in their academic work and in other pursuits, be they musical, dramatic, artistic or sporting. We believe that it is important for children to grow as individuals and to take responsibility for their actions. We encourage pupils to think for themselves, but also be part of a team, whether it is a Science project, on the sports field or in the choir. We help them with their leadership skills which will stand them in good stead for the future. They learn that each and every one of them has talent and personality which will be developed by the range of opportunities available to them. Pupils quickly acquire a love of learning in a happy, stimulating and disciplined environment.
Providing an all round education
We aim to provide a fulfilling and balanced education so that your child will leave us confident and friendly, with an enthusiasm for life and an awareness of the world around them. Although Millfield is world-renowned for its sporting excellence, the children achieve superb academic results and there is great strength in Music, Art and Drama. We seek constantly to identify and nurture every child's talents, whether academic, sporting or creative. Besides a well structured academic programme provided by high quality staff, we also offer a superb range of extra curriculur activities, giving them the chance to try almost everything.
Small class sizes and outstanding opportunities
The School offers many outstanding opportunities for pupils to develop their particular talents. As our class sizes are small, with a Staff:Pupil Ratio of 1:8 each child's needs can be identified and addressed. Our classrooms are spacious and well equipped and although many traditional methods of teaching are still used, we go beyond this by promoting the excitement of learning through discovery, investigation and imaginative play.
