This is the school I have always wanted to look after. The good name of Milton Abbey is celebrated nationwide and now I have found what makes it distinctively different. The boys have charm, good manners and colourful personalities. Academically they outstrip the expectations of both themselves and their parents. No wonder its Old Boys are engaged in such a diversity of careers, many of them entrepreneurial (Business List available on request).
At Milton Abbey we proclaim success not in the form of statistics, but in the happiness and success of individual boys. We make the most of each.
We aim to send boys out into the world prepared for the challenges and opportunities of life by:-
* Making the most of his mind by teaching him how to learn.
* Keeping his eye on the future through continuous careers and higher education counselling.
* Building his confidence by helping him to find his strengths.
* Nourishing qualities of gentleness and consideration for others.
* Encouraging teamwork and leadership in all aspects of school life.
The teaching and ancillary staff are excellent. In our small community with its uniquely caring ethos, everyone matters most. The stunningly beautiful setting provides a safe environment. At its centre is the Abbey church where God has been worshipped for more than a thousand years.
We can boast all the facilities of a modern school. A full range of academic subjects at GCSE and A levels is available in a flexible programme geared to individual needs and talents. Progress is monitored by House Staff and each boy's Academic Tutor. Extra tuition and qualified remedial support are available for those who need them. Of the huge range of activities, the most distinctive are Art (including Pottery and Photography), Music, Natural History, Canoeing, CCF, Duke of Edinburgh Award, Swimming, Golf, Fencing, Ferreting, Automobile Club, Debating and Sailing unbeaten teams, boys trained as RYA instructors, annual Prep School Regatta, and Drama enriched and enlivened by an Actor-in-Residence, offers full-scale and small-scale productions giving all boys frequent opportunities to perform or work behind the scenes.
