Mill Hill School
11+ Admissions Guide 2026

Mill Hill School is a co-educational independent day and boarding school for pupils aged 13 to 18, forming part of the Mill Hill School Foundation — a group of four schools educating young people from age 3 to 18 across four nearby sites, overseen by a shared court of governors. Senior school pupils and sixth formers are at the heart of the school, with boarders accommodated across five boarding houses that welcome both male and female pupils. The school draws pupils from a wide range of local and international backgrounds, with the great majority coming from families in London and the surrounding counties. The school community is a diverse one, and additional support is available for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities as well as for those for whom English is an additional language. At its core, Mill Hill School aims to develop thoughtful, motivated and responsible young people with a global outlook and a sense of community and environmental awareness. It seeks to instil values and inspire minds, offering a broad range of opportunities through which each pupil can find their own path to future happiness and success.

In years 9-11, pupils are not allowed to use their mobile phones. Phones must be switched off and put away before pupils arrive at school and not turned on until the end of the day. If pupils are seen using their phone during school hours the phone is confiscated, and the pupil receives a detention. In sixth form, the policy is slightly more liberal, although still outside of any academic time. The school proactively educates pupils about digital literacy, staying safe online and the benefits of restricting their own screen time, through a full PSHE curriculum.
