Today, with over 1,300 students in the senior school and a further 440 at Millfield Prep, the school offers world-leading teaching and coaching in an environment of extraordinary breadth and ambition. Millfield is not like other schools; it never has been. Its purpose is to discover brilliance in every child and to transform lives through education.
