Mill Hill School Looking Forward to the Future

Unfolding Space

At Mill Hill we are all excited by the opportunities ahead of us and embrace the 21st century wholeheartedly.

Over the next year we will be unfolding new spaces in our school. They’ll be places where students can learn, think, share and be with friends, and plan for the future.

We’re creating a new centre for our sixth formers, with an upgraded café and courtyard; an environment far more like the adult spaces of university and work.

Our houses are fundamental to our strong sense of family so we’re making spaces to relax in, meet as a house, and talk privately with the Housemaster or Housemistress.

Mill Hill pupils have shown their entrepreneurial skills time and again so we’re setting up an Innovation Hub to support this through networking, discussion and access to the tools of the future such as 3-D printers and graphic screens.

We’ll be working on the reconfiguration over the coming year and look forward to opening our new areas by September 2017.

House Space The essence of a house is found amongst its people, its team, its sense of belonging. We will create refreshed house spaces which maintain that special sense of identity. A welcoming set of rooms where pupils can relax with friends, meet as a house, and take time out for a one to one session with their Housemaster or Housemistress.

Sixth Form Centre We want to create something special for the sixth formers – a centre which allows them to learn, relax and perhaps to blend the two in this dedicated space.

With an upgraded café upstairs and access to the courtyard downstairs, this area should convey the sense of difference, and the privileges of the sixth form. We’re helping to prepare our students to be ready for university life and the professional world, where work, business and leisure are a little more blurred.

Innovation Hub The future is getting closer all the time. With the Innovation Hub we will be setting up a space where pupils can have greater access to the tools of the future: 3-D printers, graphic screens, and a place where we can help shape entrepreneurial skills through networking and discussion.

“The Sixth Form Centre will provide both a relaxing environment and a more grown up place to study and socialise. I see this as developing into an educational and social hub that the pupils will appreciate immensely.”

“I am delighted that we have the opportunity to use the space within the school to continue to develop the far sighted educational vision of our founders, who were keen that all our pupils were prepared for the future.”
