She became a full time boarder at Millfield a year prior to the family returning to UK. The sport offerings at Millfield are truly second to none, the academic programme and international language options allowed our children the flexibility to pick up on the skills they acquired abroad.

Communication is exceptional across the Schools, with an up-to-date online parent portal and regular emails. The excellent facilities at both schools are extensive and plentiful, with swimming pools, indoor\/outdoor facilities for tennis, cricket and golf. Plenty of astro turf for hockey and several football & rugby pitches with great equestrian facilities for those who enjoy riding. There are over 100 other activities for children to get involved in or just to try out.\n\nWe highly recommend both Schools, but would urge you to find out for yourselves at one of the many Open Days.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"We are delighted with this school, it totally fitted the needs of our 3 children so we moved our whole family 125 miles to be able to give our children the best.\n\nThe Pre-Prep is nurturing and caring but also challenging for my 6 year old son.
