Welcome to MILLFIELD


justifiably proud of its pedigree. Today Millfield, along with its


Preparatory School, has some 1700 pupils and more than 600 staff with a ratio of one teacher to every seven children. Their simple philosophy aims to help every individual child to achieve their full potential. Millfield’s approach to sport is in line with the school’s belief that education is concerned with the whole human being, and that every pupil has the ability to achieve something worthwhile or even to excel in some field. The main objective of the sports programme, therefore, is to identify and develop a skill in every pupil, because achievement in one area so often proves to be the key to success in school life as a whole. A large purpose-built campus houses a wide range of high quality facilities and a large number of highly qualified sports coaches oversee the vast array of sports on offer. Each year, around twenty-five of Millfield’s students win international


honours across a broad spectrum of sports. In recent years, Millfield teams have won national championships in basketball, football, golf, hockey (indoor and outdoor), girls athletics, fencing, modern pentathlon, triathlon, rugby union, boys and girls squash, cricket, orienteering and boys and girls tennis. The Millfield campus totals 350 acres and is split into three sites, Pre-prep (nursery school), Prep School and the Senior School, with each site providing sports and other facilities for the pupils. The sports facilities of the Senior School include:


• Three Olympic-quality water-based astroturfs


• A 9 hole (18 tee) golf course with driving range


• An athletics arena, with track and field facilities


• Two multi-purpose sports halls • A large equestrian centre (including an


indoor riding school) and paddocks


• An indoor tennis centre with nine outdoor courts


• A 50 metre indoor swimming pool • A large gym and a free weights room • A fencing salle • A judo dojo


• Six cricket squares and practice net facilities


• Large multi use playing fields providing nine rugby and ten football pitches


• Three grass tennis courts • Seven netball courts


• Eighteen boarding houses with accompanying gardens and communal areas also form part of the school grounds


All of the grounds maintenance is carried out in-house with the School employing
