Millfield School is not especially academically selective. The academic results are more than decent considering: in 2023, GCSE results yielded 41% 9-7 grades and A-Levels a decent enough 29% A-grades. Bottom line is though that Millfield School's focus lies with sport, not academic hothousery.

The absolutely amazing sports provision is by far the stand-out strength at Millfield School. Pretty much everything they offer including rugby, swimming, equestrian, golf, hockey, rowing, football and athletics, they do extremely well and successully. You excel at sports and plan to make your passion your career? Then Millfield is your school!
Millfield School's SEN provision, so essential for sporty children with learning difficulties to be able to focus on their sport whilst getting all the help they can get academically, is amazing.
We were impressed by Millfield School's great range of non-sporty extracurriculars. From knitting and bee-keeping to silversmithing and German cinema, Millfield pretty much covers every geeky niche!
Millfield School is a very big school with a clear focus on sports. If your child doesn't excel at sports, there's a risk she/he might become invisible.
