Lecture Series
In 2003, a number of focus groups were conducted with 5th and 6th Formers, asking for their views as to how Mill Hill could improve its offer to its most senior pupils. All of the groups agreed that they would like to see the introduction of a series which encouraged presentations from leading academics, authors and media personalities.
In this way, the Mill Hill School Lecture Series was born. Since the first lecture by Andrew Roberts in September 2003, more than 30 speakers have presented evening addresses to thousands of members of the School and its wider community. Speakers have included Jonathan Dimbleby, Andy McNab, Dr David Starkey, Kate Adie and ex-Python Terry Jones.
