Millfield Boarding House

Millfield Boarding House

Our newly renovated Victorian Villa, Millfield Boarding House, opened in January 2020, is part of the main School campus at Ryde and an elegant addition to our Boarding Houses. The large sitting room and prep areas ensure that study, play and rest are all optimised. The bedrooms are single, twins or triples, most with en-suite facilities. The house has a real family feel and, as with any good home, the beautifully designed kitchen is at the heart of the house.There is a large garden with sea views and boarders have access to the school’s facilities and playing fields.

At Ryde, we pride ourselves on delivering an exceptional level of pastoral care and an emphasis on family values and well-ordered supervision. There is a varied programme to allow time for relaxation, effective study and the opportunity to try new and adventurous games, activities and trips.  The boarding accommodation provides comfortable and homely bedrooms, a variety of spacious common areas and places for quiet study. This creates an environment and community where pupils thrive, enabling them to exceed their potential.

Housemaster of Millfield, Mr Henry Bagnall, lives at Millfield with his wife Mrs Joss Bagnall and dog Uffa.  Keen sailors and explorers, Mr Bagnall teaches Science and Sport and is Head of Round Square. Mrs Bagnall is Head of Geography and Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, she also oversees Seaford House in the Senior School. They love to share their passions for cooking, fitness and adventure with the boarders.
