About Milton Abbey

ETHOS


Milton Abbey provides a transformational and inclusive learning environment in which every child is known, noticed and nurtured.


Milton Abbey is a co-educational senior boarding school with a small number of fully integrated day pupils. We are small by choice, to enable extraordinary focus on the holistic development of each individual.


Wellbeing underpins optimal development and achievement in all areas. We work together to create a healthy, happy, safe environment for all.


Kindness, self-respect and respect for others are central to our community.


We balance support and challenge to ensure all students can experience success, through effort, whatever their starting point.


We are committed to removing barriers to learning and equipping students with the strategies they need to succeed.


In our high challenge, moderate pressure environment, ‘personal best’ is the target in every aspect of performance.


Effort, courage and commitment are actively encouraged and celebrated. We value all kinds of intelligence and achievement equally, providing opportunities for all to participate and succeed, in and beyond the classroom.


We prepare our students to take on the challenges of 21st Century life.


Working in active partnership with our parents, we build character and confidence in our young people.


Milton Abbey School celebrates diversity and is committed to achieving equality for all. Those of all faiths and none are equally welcome in our community. The Abbey is central to our school life. Community worship is in the tradition of the Church of England.
