"Good, but Room for Improvement"

We have been at Millfield for a year now, and while we are generally happy with the education and facilities, there are a few areas where we feel the school could improve. For example, we have found the communication between teachers and parents to be inconsistent, and we have had a few issues with the school's administration. That being said, we do feel that our son is receiving a good education and is happy at the school.

"Challenging, yet Supportive Environment"

Our son attended Millfield from Year 7 to Year 13, and we were thoroughly impressed with the way he was challenged to reach his full potential. The teachers were always supportive and encouraging, and the school's values of kindness, challenge, and questioning really came alive in our son's experiences. We have no hesitation in recommending Millfield to any parent considering it for their child.
