About Us
The School was founded in 1985 with the amalgamation of 3 former schools. It has created a forward-looking curriculum which "provides superbly" for the needs of students, according to Ofsted.
Secondary education in Barnet is provided by fully selective schools, single sex schools, schools with religious affiliations and non-denominational comprehensive schools, such as our own; in order to maintain a balanced intake and in line with our specialisms, we allocate 10% of places on the basis of technological aptitude, 10% on musical aptitude and 5% on dance aptitude.
The School is highly traditional in its approach to student behaviour and attitudes. Students are expected to wear our distinctive uniform in a conventional manner, i.e. with collars buttoned, shirts tucked in etc. While all members of the School community are expected to behave respectfully to one another, there is an explicit expectation that students will respect their elders, maintaining a wholly courteous manner towards teaching and support staff, adult visitors and members of the general public. In classes, every student is expected to be trying to be a pleasure to teach.
In contrast to the nationwide decrease in levels of extracurricular activity and school trips, the staff of Mill Hill County High School place great value upon the learning experiences which can be provided by sports teams, musical ensembles, dramatic and dance productions, clubs of every sort and educational visits. The School’s extracurricular programme is exceptional and represents a vast amount of voluntary effort on the part of staff; students are expected to avail themselves of appropriate opportunities and to learn the virtues of loyalty and faithfulness.
Our Facilities
The School has excellent facilities accommodated in buildings of varying age and quality, laid out in a rather complicated manner.
The oldest buildings were opened in 1957 on a spacious 21 acre site, with extensive playing fields, on the edge of the Green Belt. Additions and improvements have been made as follows: a purpose built Sixth Form Centre (1993); a major refurbishment of the Technology Centre (1993); the Fey Centre for IT (1995); the Weston Centre for Media (1996); a £1.2m suite of rooms accommodating art and 4 science laboratories (1999); a £3m extension accommodating English, Music, Dance/Drama teaching rooms and a splendid new library (2003), a new 7 room maths block (2015) and a new extension in 2019 providing 5 History classrooms, a Sociology room and a new Dance studio. In addition, in 2019, a new sixth form study area has also been opened.
