Millfield’s Purpose is to break the mould

as an activist educator and provide an
education and an experience that honours the
individual.
Our Vision is to be the world leader for the
development of children.
“ Iam acutely aware of the

possibilities of what we
can achieve as a collective,

how many lives we could
transform, and how we can
do this by working together.”

Our Mission is to Discover Brilliance in
CHANGING every child, be the world’s best at immersing
students in limitless academic, artistic and
sporting opportunities and be the market
LIVES AND leader in providing transformational bursaries.

That third and very emotive pillar of our

FUNDING mission is where the Millfield Foundation
steps in and is something that I am passionate

about. Millfield is tremendously diverse in
TALENT terms of the academic, cultural and sporting
backgrounds of its children, and we celebrate
this diversity. Millfield currently supports 17
