We hear about the opportunities open to youngsters at Millfield and Millfield Prep School
Prep School and the start of Senior School should be a time where students can, alongside academics, try anything. They should have free rein to discover their passions, find what they’re good at, and try everything in a supportive, nurturing and positive environment.
At Millfield and Millfield Prep School, pupils can do it all, without compromise. At Millfield Prep, life beyond academics is rich and varied. With over 10 hours of sports and co-curricular sessions weekly, Year 7 and 8 pupils dive into everything from team sports and musical theatre productions to inter-house bake-offs, councils, and camps. This is often where passions start to be discovered. Pupils are given the opportunity to try everything and find what they really love, and it’s absolutely fine, and actively encouraged, if this exploration continues into Year 9.
As part of the Nine at Millfield programme at Millfield, students are given the opportunity to try a range of different activities through the Millfield Activity Programme. The relaxed environment allows students to try something new, such as mountain biking or beekeeping, with no commitment to continue it long term.
There is a clear correlation between good academic outcomes in the classroom being reflected on the sports field or in the arts, and vice versa.
