Academic Performance
Mill Hill provides excellence in education. The Public Examination Results
demonstrate this. At A-Level our candidates achieved a record 98% pass rate. Our
top 10% of candidates scored at the equivalent of AAAB. Over 96% of our leavers
go on to University. At GCSE our 97 candidates also achieved record results,
with an A*-C pass rate of 95% and 43% of their grades being A*/A.
The Arts and IT
All pupils are encouraged to take part in the musical life of the school. A
major extension and refurbishment of the music facilities has just been
completed. There is a strong tradition of drama at Mill Hill. A group of pupils
recently took a production to the Edinburgh Festival. A new Drama and
Multi-Media Centre opened in 1998. The Art Department is thriving and students
are encouraged to make use of the recently improved facilities. The School is a
leader in Information Technology.
