Milton Abbey School

Milton Abbey School is England’s only truly full boarding school, offering one of the widest ranges of academic, vocational and sporting qualifications for students aged 13–18. We provide an exceptional choice of traditional and vocational pathways, designed to inspire every learner and prepare them for a confident, successful life beyond school.

At Milton Abbey, education is about more than what a student learns — it’s about who they become. We focus on nurturing the attitudes, resilience and curiosity that underpin lifelong success.

We take great pride in helping young people develop the self-belief and independence they need to thrive. Every student is known and valued as an individual. They make the most of our stunning countryside setting, form lasting friendships, and enjoy a vibrant calendar of weekend activities that bring our community together.

Our smaller size, exceptional pastoral care and strong partnership with parents allow us to understand each pupil deeply. This insight enables us to set ambitious, personalised goals that stretch and motivate every student.

Throughout their time here, pupils are supported and inspired by a remarkable team of teachers and boarding staff, dedicated to helping them achieve their "personal best", academically, socially and personally.

Milton Abbey School is dedicated to creating an enriching environment for both students and staff. We believe that a healthy work-life balance is essential for fostering creativity and effectiveness in the classroom.

Our staff development programmes include:

• Regular training sessions to enhance pedagogical skills
• Opportunities for collaborative projects among teachers
• A focus on mental health and wellbeing initiatives, ensuring staff feel valued and supported

Safeguarding is a cornerstone of our ethos, and we are committed to maintaining a safe environment for everyone. Our strong pastoral care extends beyond students to include staff, creating a sense of community and belonging.

Working here means being part of a vibrant culture where innovation is encouraged, and every staff member's voice is heard.
