Question 1

Do you require any mobility or access arrangements to ensure your group can make the most of the visit?

Accepted Answer

No Yes Where did you hear about Milton Abbey School before signing up to the Open Day? (Required) You can select multiple options - please choose anywhere you have heard or read about Milton Abbey to help us understand how best to communicate with other families.

Question 2

How far in advance of entry do I need to register my child?

Accepted Answer

We recommend coming to see the school, either at one of Open Days or an individual admissions visit, at least two years in advance of entry. The best way to do this is to attend one of our Experience Days. Once you have had a good look round and met staff, we recommend you register your child, giving them a provisional place.

Question 3

Will I be able to meet the Head when I visit?

Accepted Answer

Upon request we can arrange for you to meet with the Headmaster, followed by a tour of the school led by one of our students.

Question 4

What are the entry exams to Milton Abbey?

Accepted Answer

The majority of pupils who join us at 13 take the Common Entrance exams set by the ISEB. For those who have not been prepared for Common Entrance, we are happy to accept our own entrance papers in Maths and English, in addition to an interview. For entrance at the Sixth Form, all those registered with us are asked to attend an Interview Morning before places are offered.

Question 5

When is your next Open Day for prospective pupils entering at age 13?

Accepted Answer

We have Open Days twice a year in February and October. As we like to keep our Open Days small and personal, you do need to book with the Admissions Office. Please see here for more information about visiting us.

Question 6

Do you offer weekly boarding?
