The Curriculum

Outstanding range of traditional and vocational qualifications, chosen to inspire and prepare students for adulthood. Focus is not only on learning, but on developing attitudes and habits for lifelong success.

Games & the Arts

Exceptional grounds allow a huge variety of traditional and modern, team and individual, sports; including on-site golf course and cycling training. Large theatre with regular performances, music classrooms with a recording studio, and well-equipped art and design department with darkroom.

Pastoral Care

Milton Abbey is a unique and profoundly caring environment. This is brought about by the small size of the school, excellent academic and pastoral staff – most of whom live on-site – and complemented by beautiful and inspiring surroundings. Every teacher knows every pupil, and all the pupils know each other. This creates a genuine, tolerant and wonderfully supportive environment that leads to pupils enjoying life at Milton Abbey.
