Scholarships, which attract a maximum of 25% fee remission, are available to pupils showing exceptional talent in a variety of areas both in the classroom and on the sports field. In addition to major awards, there are a number of minor Awards or Exhibitions also on offer. The Headmaster, Deputy Headmaster (External) or the Assistant Registrar are happy to advise parents and feeder schools about any of these awards.

There are many opportunities to participate in out of school activities at Mill Hill. For many years the School has had close links with partner schools in Europe, and every year around 50% of the pupil body take part in pupil exchanges and trips to France, Germany, Spain and Belgium.

A unique feature of Mill Hill is its innovative Partnership Programme. Through this initiative Sixth Form pupils have the opportunity to work in a variety of educational projects with partners in Ethiopia, India and Nicaragua. Those that take part in the Partnership Programme often talk about it being a life-changing experience.

Subject specific trips and tours are also important features of School life with history, geography, classics and biology field trips forming an integral part of pupils’ study. The English and theatre studies departments are of course ideally placed to take advantage of London, one of the world’s great theatre centres. The success of our drama students in the Edinburgh Festival is described elsewhere on this site.

Sports men and women at Mill Hill also have the opportunity to display and develop their skills in countries across the world. South Africa, the West Indies, Canada, Italy, New Zealand and South America have all hosted touring teams in recent years.
