There are nearly 1,300 students at the Senior School (Years 9-13) and a further 450 pupils at the neighbouring Prep School. Millfield's scale creates exceptional opportunities, supported by facilities that are unrivalled in the UK. These include an Olympic-sized swimming pool; world-class hockey, rugby and football pitches; golf courses; indoor centres for tennis, golf and cricket; an equestrian centre; a concert hall, recording studio, theatre and art gallery; a state-of-the-art science centre; and outstanding boarding accommodation.

The Futures Department provides tailored guidance and support to students as they explore their post-Millfield pathways. The department has an outstanding reputation for supporting applications to USA universities, particularly for student-athletes. In recent years, Millfield has consistently been one of the leading contributors of UK-based student-athletes progressing to NCAA programmes, with last year's cohort accounting for almost 10% of all NCAA athletes joining from UK schools.
