Things to note
Sport plays a vital role in the development of pupils at Milton Abbey. During 2018, more than 90% of young people represented the School in a team or individual sport. While they punch well above small size in terms of competitive achievements, sport plays an equally important part in academic and receational programmes.
Loads: there is a packed activities programme, run every weekday evening and at the weekends, including sport, music, art, drama, cookery, e-sports, design – even a dog-walking club. You can also go to spend time with friends at the Sixth Form social space.
