Millfield Prep School is a co-educational day and boarding school for ages 2-13 in 200 acres of Somerset countryside. The school was recently named the Independent Prep School of the Year, Best Sports School in the country for the 10th time in 11 years by School Sport Magazine and last year received a double excellent inspection rating, the highest possible.
The school offers a diverse range of academic subjects, sports, creative arts and activities, supported by outstanding facilities including: an equestrian centre, 25 metre swimming pool, golf courses, science centre, music halls, tennis bubble and numerous sports pitches. The schools’ aim is to ensure that every child can discover their brilliance across all aspects of school life. Pupils and staff live by the school values: Be Kind, Be You, Be Challengers, Be Curious and Be Brilliant.

Millfield Prep offers full, weekly and flexi boarding from ages 7+. Full boarders enjoy evenings and weekends filled with trips and activities including visits to the cinema, international sports matches, bowling, Weston-super-Mare beach, Go Ape, baking, craft nights, sport and birthdays are celebrated with lots of singing and cake!
The boarding house is the place where most pupils make long-lasting friendships and receive the support and guidance of a team of dedicated staff to guide them through their time at the school. “The quality of boarding provision and care is excellent. The experience of boarding is warmly praised by many, and significantly enhances boarders’ personal development, as they become self-reliant and tolerant of each other.” – ISI Inspection Report 2023

Outstanding pastoral care is at the heart of everything the school does. The innovative Wellbeing Curriculum educates pupils about their mental health and wellbeing through a series of activities such as Yoga, Movement to Music, Alfresco Pursuits, Mindful Walk and Talk and Meditation. Millfield Prep’s alumni include Tokyo 2020 Olympic gold medallist swimmer James Guy, England Rugby player Chris Robshaw and singer-songwriter Ella Eyre
