Entry to Millfield Prep School is possible into all year groups, with the largest intake at Year 7. We will consider entry in January and April, as well as in September.

If you are looking for a place for September 2026, Admissions team on prepadmissions@millfieldschool.com or 01458 832446 who will be able to tell you the most up to date picture and if we can accommodate you. It is possible that places do become available over the summer holiday period.

If you would like to consider a place at Millfield Prep for your child, the first thing to do is to come and visit us. We would be delighted to give you a tour of the school and, if you think your child would enjoy Millfield Prep, you can formally apply for a place by completing the Registration Form. If you are unable to visit, please contact us to arrange a virtual introduction to Millfield Prep School.

Following this, we will request a reference from your current school and, on receipt of a satisfactory report, invite you to bring your child for interview and assessment. If they would like to spend the day with us, they would be most welcome. We would then formally offer a place and the return of the Acceptance Form and Fee completes the entry procedure.

You may, of course, enter your child for future years, but we would not normally complete the paperwork until the year preceding admission. Most children transfer to Millfield School for Year 9, subject to a satisfactory final report from the Head.
