What the school inspection says

“The school aims to develop thoughtful, motivated and responsible young people with a global outlook, a sense of community and environmental awareness. It seeks to instil values and inspire minds by providing what it intends to be an excellent education. The pupils’ notably strong communication skills help them to develop their knowledge and understanding in all areas. Pupils develop highly effective skills across all the areas of learning. The broad curriculum, in conjunction with a wide extracurricular programme, ensures that pupils receive appropriate and varied opportunities for such development. Pupils achieve highly in a wide range of activities and academic competitions, representing successful fulfilment of part of the school’s aims. Pupils are confident, positive in outlook and self-aware. They contribute very positively to the lives of others.” There was a routine inspection in 2024.

About the school

Only a short Tube ride from central London, Mill Hill School has more than 150 acres of grounds on its green campus in north London. Founded in 1807, it is now the flagship institution of the Mill Hill Education Group, a not-for-profit group of independent schools with the motto Et virtutem, et musas (“Instilling values, inspiring minds”).
The idea behind its founding was to create “London in the countryside” and today the school’s 900 boys and girls – 100 of them full or weekly boarders – have the space to learn with sophisticated academic and sports facilities which include a full gym and swimming pool.
The house system creates small communities of about 80 pupils and there are plenty of opportunities for young people to shine in leadership roles.
Mill Hill School is for pupils aged 13-18, giving it a “high school” feel. Younger year groups start at Grimsdell pre-prep and Belmont prep schools, served by the Mill Hill Express bus.
Former pupils include the fashion designer Sir Norman Hartnell and the broadcaster Richard Dimbleby.
