The Abbey
The Abbey is the dominant feature of the school buildings. Described by the Bishop of Salisbury as ‘The most beautiful Church in Wessex’, and often featuring in the top 100 ecclesiastical buildings in Britain, the school is most fortunate to have it as its chapel.
Manned by a full time Anglican Chaplain, the school meets three times a week for chapel. There is a daily Eucharist, compline on Wednesdays and evening pray regularly through the week. The Abbey choir sing on major school occasions.
The importance of the Abbey cannot be underestimated on present or past Miltonians. A haven of peace, the Chapel allows pupils to sit quietly at the start of a school day. Designed to hone and develop moral compasses, the Abbey is very much the beating heart of this extraordinary school.
