Fencing Academy
Millfield strives to achieve the best combined fencing and academic environment in Britain and is proud to be the only school in the UK to offer training in all three fencing weapons to both sexes at the highest levels. The School takes fencing very seriously, so much so that it was the fourth sport at Millfield to be given Academy status, as such Fencing is available to any pupil as a main sport option, with the unique all-round support provided.
The Fencing Academy, which was the joint initiative of the fencing coach, Professor Norman Golding and the School, includes a full comprehensive programme of squad sessions covering all weapons, timetabled lessons, personal competition plans and individual monitoring plus the full scientific back-up of the School.
The School competes throughout the year at Junior and Senior competitions both at home and abroad ranging from the Leon Paul Junior Series, to World Cup/Grand-Prix events. Fencing at Millfield has had over 60 pupils awarded International honours at all levels. This year Millfield won not only more trophies than any other School at the Public Schools Championships, but the overall points Trophy as well, making it officially the Top Fencing School in the Country.
