Milton Abbey School we offer an outstanding range of traditional and vocational qualifications, chosen to inspire our students and prepare them for adult life. Our focus is not only on what a student needs to learn but on developing the attitudes and habits for lifelong success.
We are proud of our track record of enabling young people to gain the self-belief necessary to achieve. Known and appreciated as individuals, they make the most of our glorious countryside setting, build lasting friendships and enjoy a full program of weekend events.
Our small size, strong pastoral care, and great partnership with parents mean that we quickly gain exceptional knowledge of your child. Based on this, we work with each student to set ambitious targets.
Throughout their time here, our students benefit from the support, inspiration, challenge, and encouragement of an extraordinary team of teaching and boarding staff, dedicated to enabling each pupil to achieve ‘personal bests, in and beyond the classroom.
We have a vision for our students to be:
- Interesting and interested adults
- Ambitious and self-aware: knowing who they are, what drives them, what matters to them, and what they want to achieve
- Aware of the need for effort, commitment, and work to achieve their goal
- Balanced people with a range of interests, skills, and developed talents: equipped to live a fulfilling life
- Ready and able to serve and work with others: to make a positive difference
- Able to understand and use their strengths to combat any challenges
- Self-starting, resilient, and adaptable to the demands of a changing world
- Irresistibly employable
In short, we will work to enable your child to become someone everyone would want on their team. Please do come to visit our school, our abbey and our farm to see what makes us a genuinely different and exciting choice. A Milton Abbey education aims:
- To provide a carefully structured and uniquely broad curriculum, which enables pupils to achieve their academic potential, and to develop skills appropriate to the world of work and life in the twenty-first century
- To place the individual at the center of the school experience and, through our small size, to promote confidence and self-esteem in all our pupils
- To cultivate a happy, caring and supportive environment across the School, inculcating the values of compassion, tolerance, and respect so that every pupil feels valued and supported
- To encourage pupils to lead a fulfilling and rewarding School life at Milton Abbey by participating in the wide range of sporting and cultural activities on offer
- To embed the Round Square IDEALS and philosophy into every aspect of School life. Pupils are encouraged to acquire a meaningful and lasting understanding of different cultures and nationalities, to develop an appreciation and enjoyment of the natural environment, to learn about and participate in the democratic process, and to put the needs of others before their own.
