Mill Hill Schools in detail

Mill Hill Schools in its own words

In its own words: "We have a world class learning environment. Few schools can boast the setting, facilities and sheer space that Mill Hill has to offer, all within easy reach of Central London. Our School offers the best of both worlds - the vibrant city life and the tranquillity and safety of the countryside."

The Department for Education's GCSE measures do not count IGCSEs, which many independent schools take instead of GCSEs, so the Attainment 8 and English and maths figures it publishes for Mill Hill Schools can understate its results. We do not rank or compare them; ask the school for its own GCSE and IGCSE results.
