Supporting Mill Hill
Since 1807, the unwavering generosity of our school community, Old Millhillians, parents, and friends, has allowed us to open doors for deserving students and create a truly inspiring learning environment.
Today, Mill Hill remains steadfast in its commitment to offering bursaries, honouring our founders' vision of a school where potential is nurtured, no matter a pupil’s background. Your support will have a direct impact on our pupils' futures and will help ensure that every Mill Hill pupil can thrive.
