                DONATING






                 Millfield has a long tradition of philanthropy, dating back
                 to the founding of the school by RJO (Boss) Meyer in 1935.


                 The school is rightly very proud of the Millfield
                 Mix, which has always been a defining feature

                 of Millfield. Our aim is to offer more assisted

                 places so that a greater number of children

                 can experience a life changing Millfield
                 education.
                 We also work with the Department of
                 Education to place vulnerable young people,
                 whom might otherwise eventually need to be
                 taken into local authority care, into boarding   01
                 schools, with the aim of transforming their
                 lives and prospects.
                 Across the campus there are many examples

                 of the generosity of the Millfield community.
                 From the 50 metre Olympic-sized swimming
                 pool to the Fencing Salle and now the
                 state-of-the-art golf and cricket centres.

                 a scholarship? What                     02
                 Millfield can provide, and

                 what it did provide for
                 our daughters has been
                 fantastic. It helped to

                 mould our girls into
                 well-rounded individuals
                 who aspire and inspire.                 03

                 We, as a family, wanted                 Everyone in the Millfield community can, and
                                                         does, play an important part. It is not just
                 to give this opportunity                about large gifts – contributions of all sizes
                                                         make a real difference. There are lots of ways
                 to others, which we                     to get involved and we are grateful for the

                 believe will be truly                   incredible support that the Millfield
                                                         community has shown in a wide range of
                 life-changing for them.”                projects.
