Hullo helpful ladies,
What do you know about Millfield school? Do you think it would be 'ok' for us?
DS is a bright (10 yr old) boy but who needs some pushing to do his work, both homework and (esp) class work. He is currently overseas ( in Uganda) but the social climber in me wants to send him to your land for senior school. We have considered a number of schools but Milfield was the only one where no written test is required for overseas applicants ( according to the good school's guide) and this sounded like music to my ears ( esp coz I am unable to afford tutors and DIY tutoring would be too difficult). Anyway, I have got a glimpse of the reputations of some of the other schools from the threads here but not for Milfield. Would you pliz let me know what you think of it? I am most afraid of drugs, bulling and lack of adequate pastoral care! My DS is also the dreamy type, and I read that at this sch, the dim end stretches on and on. Won't he be left to his dreams and hence become dim?
I am meeting the registrar next week when he visits Kenya but I need to have some view of the sch beyond what the website and the good schools guide say...I guess!
Thanks for any and every response.
