General information

Headteacher: Jonathan Hughes-D'Aeth.

Background: Milton Abbey lies tucked away in an idyllic part of the country, amongst beautiful rolling hills in the heart of Dorset. About eight miles southwest of Blandford, between the villages of Milborne St. Andrew and Hilton, a church has stood here to the glory of God for over a thousand years. The original collegiate church was founded c.933 AD by King Athelstan of WessexMilton Abbey's small size gives a high proportion of pupils the opportunity to play in a school team. The schools size does not militate against specialisation, but it does militate against exclusive specialisation: a good games-player will find themselves much in demand. When playing bigger schools, in order to achieve a fair contest, we might compete with their second, rather than first, team.Sporting facilities include a sports hall, a 25m heated, indoor swimming pool, squash courts, tennis courts, and indoor rifle range, a 9-hole golf course and an all-weather 'astroturf' pitch. The Sailing Club is an RYA recognised teaching establishment. .
