Belmont Mill Hill Prep School

Belmont is the co-educational preparatory day school to Mill Hill and one of four schools that comprise the Mill Hill School Foundation. The School is set in 30 acres of the Mill Hill conservation area on the edge of the green belt and is over-subscribed. Some 490 pupils are on roll, aged from 7 to 13. Belmont has an excellent academic reputation and provides a happy and friendly environment in which pupils enjoy learning; the extra-curricular programme is extensive and of high quality. Entry at 7+ is automatic from the pre-prep and selective for external candidates. Entry at 11+ is selective and gives automatic transfer to Mill Hill, the senior school, at 13+. Approximately 95% of pupils transfer; the remaining pupils are successful in gaining entry to other selective independent schools in north London and beyond. The school achieves high academic standards at Common Entrance and other entrance exams to senior schools, with a significant number regularly achieving academic, music, art, design, drama and sports awards. The School has a strong reputation for the quality of its pastoral care and for the very good personal development of the children. In our 2012 inspection, the inspectors found all aspects of the School’s provision to be excellent.
