SWIMMING POOL as football or singing, where the entire house supports each
other. Additionally, each morning is spent in group tutor
sessions with other Great House students in your year group.

house playing table football or pool, chatting with friends,
and even grabbing some toast and a drink, especially hot
Q Swimming Pool chocolate during the winter. However, Millfield isn’t limited

Nevertheless, Great House will always be the most inviting
and friendly place to go, thanks to both the teachers and
Entry to
Sports Campus the students. Being a day student is ideal, as you benefit
from the extraordinary and diverse school that Millfield
is, with incredible facilities, outstanding academics, and a
plethora of extra-curricular activities, while also having the
Equestrian Paddocks Butleigh opportunity to go home at the end of the day. In my opinion,
Field
there is no better house to be in than Great House.
