Building firm foundations

Millfield Prep is an innovative school which frequently takes the lead in educational development. Our methods are continually evolving, but our primary aim remains constant: to help our pupils to build firm foundations for their future lives. We foster good work habits, self-discipline, resilience, confidence and concern for others, which will stand them in good stead throughout their education – and well beyond.

Discovering and developing potential

We offer children a high-quality education in a friendly and open learning environment. We seek to develop pupils and prepare them for their future schooling, giving them the skills to last a lifetime. Whether a pupil comes to us as a high achiever, underachiever, coaster or struggling with barriers to their learning, we have the expertise to develop their potential, engage them in the classroom and break down any barriers. We understand each child is different, and provide an atmosphere in which they can be confident and progress to the best of their ability.

Small class sizes

High levels of individual attention are central to achieving our aims. With small class sizes, teachers are able to provide the necessary attention to each pupil to support their own learning needs. Staff get to know your child well and will feedback on their progress through a series of informal and formal meetings, regular reports and whenever a particular need arises.

Preparation for senior school entry

Whilst the vast majority of pupils move on to Millfield at Year 9, we do also prepare pupils for other senior schools and offer support in Common Entrance and scholarship examination preparation.
