Milton Abbey School

Milton Abbey School is the only truly full boarding school in England to offer the broadest possible selection of academic, vocational and sporting qualifications for children aged 13-18. Pupils make the most of a glorious countryside setting, build lasting friendships and enjoy a full programme of sports and co-curricular activities. With a full boarding approach and six days a week of school, Milton Abbey School is as busy in the evenings and weekends as it is during the school day. We believe in a founding ideal to provide not just scholarship and sport, but also leadership, confidence, creativity, service, respect and an appreciation of the natural world. We call this character education.

Milton Abbey School offers an outstanding range of traditional and vocational subjects, chosen to inspire students and prepare them for adult life. From Music Technology to Mathematics, History to Hospitality, Fashion Design to French, or Photography to Psychology. Milton Abbey School builds the perfect study programme for every child. The focus is not only on what a student needs to learn, but on developing attitudes and habits for lifelong success.

The school has a track record of building confidence in young people and enabling them to succeed. Its deliberately small size, combined with exceptional pastoral care and strong partnerships with parents, means that every child is known and appreciated as an individual.

The school is around two hours from London Heathrow, with free minibus transfers and the option for international students to stay at school during two weekend breaks each term.
