About Mill Hill School
Mill Hill is the flagship school within the Mill Hill Education Group, the UK’s fastest growing non-profit family of independent schools. We are a traditional senior school serving pupils from Years 9 to 13, although we work closely with our prep school Belmont. We are a fully co-educational mixed day and boarding school, with approximately 800 day pupils and 100 boarders.
Mill Hill is the school of choice for many families in London and around the UK. We are academically aspirational, with half of all grades at A Level being A*-A, and three quarters of GCSE grades are 9-7. However, we also have a deep co-curricular programme – recognised as sector-leading by ISI – and skilful pastoral care through our historic House system.
We are blessed at Mill Hill with amazing grounds, dedicated staff and brilliant pupils. Our setting on the fringe of London gives us a beautiful environment in which to learn, whilst keeping us connected to the city. There are few better schools to build your career at than Mill Hill, where you will have the collegiate support and professional freedom you need to thrive and grow as a teacher.
