Why Join Us?
A Fresh Start Ahead of GCSEs
If your child hasn’t quite found their stride where they are, Year 9 is a natural point to reset. At Mill Hill, pupils join a welcoming community supported by strong pastoral care that ensures every child feels known, valued, and confident as they prepare for the next academic stage.
It’s also one of the main entry points to Mill Hill, alongside Year 12, meaning your child will join a large and lively cohort of new pupils all starting their journey together.H3: Discover Confidence, Curiosity and Challenge
Year 9 at Mill Hill is a time to explore, from new subjects to new friendships, while developing the skills and self-belief that lead to success in GCSEs and beyond.
Life at Mill Hill
Set within 120 acres of beautiful grounds, Mill Hill School offers exceptional teaching, co-curricular opportunities and pastoral care that ensures every pupil is known and supported. Whether boarding or day, each child is encouraged to aim high and achieve their personal best.
Perfectly positioned in London’s countryside, our campus combines the space and calm of open parkland with excellent transport links to central London, offering pupils the best of both worlds.
Recent years have seen a step-change in academic achievement, with a quarter of all GCSE grades now awarded at Grade 9 and continued improvement across A Levels. These results reflect our investment in outstanding teaching and leadership, and our ongoing commitment to academic excellence.
Our pupils are confident, thoughtful, and outward-looking, benefiting from both academic challenge and a Future Skills programme that encourages creativity, collaboration, and continuous improvement. It’s an approach that ensures every Millhillian leaves prepared to thrive in the world beyond school.
Beyond the Classroom
From music and drama to sport and outdoor pursuits, life at Mill Hill is full of opportunities for pupils to discover their passions and develop new skills. Our recent Independent Schools of the Year Award for Sporting Achievement celebrates the breadth of talent and commitment shown by pupils across all disciplines, a testament to the school’s dedication to excellence in every area of education.
