The Year at Millfield Prep 2012/13
Headmistress’ Welcome
O
ur pupils have been amazing this
year. Full of life and on a quest
to find fun; they are always busy
and creative with stories to tell
and many questions to ask. This book gives
a vibrant account of our year and goes a
long way to illustrate how their curiosity
and eagerness to learn is rewarded.
Given the fast pace of life it has been valuable
to pause and reflect on all the good that has
been accomplished during the past year. As
well as outstanding academic and creative arts
achievements and sporting endeavour, it gives me
pleasure to shine a light on the caring and sharing
aspect of our ethos. This year saw termly tutor group
awards as well as annual year group awards for care,
consideration and good citizenship. Team building
exercises, the boarders’ activity programme and
whole year group experiences, such as World
War II Day and Bushcraft, have genuinely engaged
the pupils and strong friendships have been forged.
At Millfield Prep we want to inspire the children to
be creative and as W B Yeats says “education is not
about filling buckets but lighting fires”.
Ensuring we meet the educational needs of
our children and provide them with a lifetime of
opportunities has meant embracing the digital era.
By making digital literacy a fundamental part of the
education system, not only will schools equip the
children with vital tools for the workplace, they will
also be laying the ground for the next generation of
computer scientists and innovators. Not everyone
needs to be a computer scientist but we need to
give everyone the opportunity and this is the true
Millfield Prep way! Therefore the introduction of
iPads for us is a fantastic development. This year has
seen the use of iPads in the classroom and we want
the children to use them to improve their learning,
to be inspired by them and most of all to be creative.
01
tirelessly to ensure our pupils are cared for and will
take away the best from their time with us. We wish
a fond farewell to all of our pupil and staff leavers
and, in particular, our long serving members of
staff, Mrs Cookson, Mr Link and Mrs Mitchell who
between them gave 88 years to Millfield School.
They deserve the utmost praise for their dedication
and for all they have done for the school both in
and outside of the classroom.
I would also like to thank the Parents’ and Friends’
Committee for their tireless hard work and
fundraising for the school.
Gary and I are grateful to all of you for your support,
encouragement and companionship, which we have
valued hugely during the year.
This book paints a colourful picture of our busy
school. I hope you enjoy reading it.
This year I was delighted to announce that the plans
for our new Pavilion have been approved. We are all
very excited by the prospect of having such a
wonderful facility at our school.
On Speech Day, Lottie Dunning, our Head Girl for
summer term, pointed out that perhaps our staff
“are not praised enough in speeches”. Our teachers,
houseparents and support staff have worked
“For me, the
teachers at this
school have
been the most
important part
of this stage
of my life.”
Lottie, Head Girl,

“There has
always been
someone to
turn to for advice
and guidance.”

Highlights
of Our Year
Academic Achievement
Maths Challenges
As well as successful science and general
knowledge quiz entries, our pupils have taken
part in several maths challenges. In the National
Primary Maths Challenge Will Smeed got a
special mention for achieving 100% in his paper.
As a result of their outstanding results in this
round, Max French, Max Hancock, Thomas
Hewitt, Rory Nicholson and Will were invited
to take part in the ‘Bonus Round’. They all shone
and Rory was awarded a bronze medal and Max
received one of only 40 gold medals in the whole
country. In the UK Junior Maths Challenge our
pupils achieved well above the national averages
for bronze, silver and gold awards.
Maths Olympiad
Max was invited to take part in the follow-up
round of the UK Junior Maths Challenge, known
as the Olympiad. The result from this two hour
paper was a silver medal for a perfect score on
section A, followed by three correct solutions to
the demanding, extended section B questions.
This result placed him among the top 100
mathematicians in the country.
Dauntsey’s Dodecahedron
Katie Maddock, Matthew Crofts and Year 6
pupils Will Smeed and Max French were
invited to the finals of the tough Dauntsey’s
Dodecahedron Maths Competition, an event
for Year 7 pupils. Max gained second place,
going one better than last year and he still
has a year to continue his progress.

Exploring history
Coming into school on World War II Day almost
felt like walking onto a film set. There was an array
of authentic costumes and military vehicles, a
realistic-looking UXB (unexploded bomb) and even
an allotment had sprung up on the Junior courtyard!
The Year 6 children loved the day which immersed
them in this historic time period.
Mad as
a hatter!
With their trip including visits to San Callisto
Catacombs, Pompeii, the Naples Museum,
Herculaneum and Rome, the pupils who visited
Italy had a wonderful time discovering these
ancient sites. Their visit to the volcano, Vesuvius,
proved popular (not to mention the authentic
Italian gelato and delicious fresh pizzas). Their blog
during their stay was enlightening and entertaining!
“It was really interesting to
know that the volcano is active
and could erupt.”
01
Sian
“I really enjoyed the walk around
Herculaneum because it was better
preserved than Pompeii – you could
actually see what the woodwork
was like.”
Charlie
Whole school fun
During a surreal day in spring, the school was
awash with a fabulous array of book characters
in celebration of World Book Day. Winners
drew inspiration from The Cat in the Hat, Room
on the Broom, Alice in Wonderland, Charlie and
the Chocolate factory and Mr Men. Our traditional
May Fair saw pupils and parents spending the day
together taking part in games and activities to raise
funds for charity and school facilities.

Boarding Life
A
fter busy days in school the
boarders let off steam with
an action-packed programme
of activities. From paintballing
and go-karting to Segway and scuba diving,
there was plenty of fun to be had. The
Boarders’ Extravaganza at the start of
the year helped them bond as houses and
gave them a flavour of the fun to come!
The
top!
They also devoted time and energy to good
causes. Edgarley Manor boys organised a sledgepulling contest in support of polar explorer Alan
Chambers’ Greatest Challenge project; Berewall
girls cooked and delivered delicious pizzas to their
boarding friends, with proceeds going to Cancer
Research and the WWF; Chestnut boys managed
a staggering 126 runs up Glastonbury Tor between
them, in aid of Help for Heroes; Hollies girls raised
funds for Greyhound Rescue, ably assisted by their
canine companions, and a chilled pyjama day for
the Champion boys raised funds for Simonga
School in Zambia.

Celebrating diverse cultures
Millfield Prep is a melting pot of cultures and
traditions from around the world. The International
Evening was a wonderful opportunity to explore
these cultures, with pupils encouraged to wear
the traditional dress of their homeland and
sample tasters of local foods.
“My favourite costume was
Iris’s Chinese dress and my
favourite food was the salami
and ham. The hall decorations
were absolutely amazing; we
tried to find every country’s flag.
In the quiz there were questions
from Germany, Spain, Russia,
Japan, Turkey, France, Hong
Kong/China and Venezuela.
I read out the questions from
Japan and my table got them
all correct!”

member of the cast performed so well and the
costumes and scenery were a credit to the mums
and helpers behind the scenes.
The Big Draw
The children took part in The Big Draw, a project
displayed at Millfield Senior School. Year 9 pupils
helped to draw around each child and then, using
inspiration from the artwork around them, they
coloured their own outline.

It has been a busy and rewarding year with the children
being involved in so many projects, creating some
wonderful work and enjoying enriching trips.
Our whole school Explore Days featured amazing owl
facts and nest box making in the autumn and maths
investigations about money, shape, time and capacity
in the spring term.
Book Week, Apple Day, Music at Millfield, Maypole
dancing at the May Fair and many other events brought
the children together.

& Reception
A
lways keen to be outside and with
a natural curiosity to learn all about
the world around them, our younger
pupils have thoroughly enjoyed their
Forest School lessons and trips out this year.
Pre-School met dinosaurs at Wookey Hole,
fed the spring lambs at Court Farm, learned about
the variety of plants and flowers at Dobbies garden
centre, followed by planting some sunflower and
lettuce seeds in the garden.
Reception acted out Little Red Riding Hood in Forest
School, played in the woodland at Lytes Cary, made
pebble pictures on Kilve Beach and went for a sensory
walk in the orchard with their Pre-School friends.

food comes from and studied the life
cycles of sea creatures during their trips
to the beach. They also had their very
own ‘springwatch’ of butterflies in the
Pre-Prep garden.
Apple and berry picking
A lovely morning was spent finding apples
and berries in the orchard and whipping
up some delicious snacks with the fruits.

learning about Ancient Greece.
Much of their work was practical,
including debating and voting
democratically, making water clocks, trying
out ancient Olympic sports and reading
Greek myths in the temples at Stourhead.
In a special off-timetable event, they spent
a day exploring the culture of the time by
tasting and rating traditional Greek dishes,
creating their own pottery seals and scary
monsters, listening to the story of the Trojan
Horse followed by constructing their own
models and dressing up as hoplites (Greek
soldiers) or elegant Athenian ladies.

Miffy’s
Travels
Miffy, the Millfield Panda, has travelled far and
wide this year. Each week, a pupil was chosen
to take her home for the weekend and her
adventures chronicled by the children in a
journal. Among her highlights were meeting
giant pandas at Edinburgh Zoo, huddling in an
igloo, meeting the boarders in Chestnut and
receiving made-to-measure items of clothing
for her wardrobe! It is a real honour to be
awarded Miffy and pupils were chosen for their
care and consideration of others in the school.

Quiz
We hosted an area heat of the National
Prep Schools Year 5 Science Quiz where
two of our teams demonstrated their
academic prowess. Team 1, consisting
of Vinnie Gillespie (captain), Loveday
Binsley, Henry Smeed and Tom
Maddock quickly established a sizeable
lead and won through to the semi-final
by correctly identifying a killer whale as
an orca, knowing that pathology is the
study of diseases and that an altoid is
not a muscle. Our second team of Jack
Palmer (captain), Henry O’Sullivan,
Amy Bassett and Maria Elliott showed
a good knowledge of science and fought
to the end to gain 5th place.

the National Finals at Harrow School in London,
Max French, Loveday Binsley, James Maxfield
and Andrew Hewitt, supported by Tamara
Baxter-Allen, Vinnie Gillespie, and Emily
Bradshaw, were one of just 12 teams in the UK to
qualify. They achieved a brilliant 7th place overall.
The pupils enjoyed their visit to the Somerset
Earth Science Centre and were fascinated by
Whatley Quarry, one of the largest limestone
quarries in the country, especially when
truckloads weighing 100 tonnes were loaded
into the crusher! Tying in well with their science
topic for the summer term, the children were
involved with rock testing in the classroom
and used keys to identify different rocks.

and pitched tents in the woods. There were
games, a fire workshop and wilderness
cookery, during which the pupils prepared
themselves a lunch of whole trout, bread
rolls and tomato paella, followed by roast
bananas – all cooked over an open fire. The
‘tribes’ donned camouflage face paint and

Languages in Action
On Language Day we welcomed staff from
Millfield Senior School who provided taster
sessions in Mandarin, Italian, Japanese, Ancient
Greek and German. Through interactive teaching,
pupils were introduced to the culture and some
basic vocabulary and they were able to discuss
the language options available to them at the
Senior School.
A number of our pupils went to Brookside,
a local primary school, to help teach some
basic language skills to the little ones.
“We taught them greetings and
we sang a song to help them.”

Year 8 Monitors
Our monitors play an important role in school
life and provide a good example for the younger
children. School Monitors were chosen by a pupil
and staff vote and they helped to ensure rules
were kept to and assisted during events such as
Open Day. Music Monitors played a prominent
role in the Music department, helping at music
events and encouraging others to keep practising.
Pastoral Monitors were chosen to help their peers
in times of difficulty and provided support and
mediation where possible.
Salters’ Festival
of Chemistry
Our team of Calvin Leung, Ben Penton,
Cicely Newton and Bethany George went to
the University of Bath to compete in this annual
practical-based chemistry competition, involving
schools from all over the South West. They had to
solve the case of “the body in the staff room” which
involved salt precipitation techniques and flame
testing to determine the murder suspect. In the
University Challenge, ‘Who can save the Tardis?’, our
team were one of only three schools to successfully
create a chemical coolant using baking powder and
citric acid in the correct ratio. Teams were judged on
practical techniques, safety, recording results and,
most importantly, teamwork. Our pupils were very
successful in all these areas and achieved a
creditable 2nd place in the challenge.

End of year programme
After working hard for their exams,Year 8 spent
the last few weeks off-timetable. A highlight
was the Bushcraft trip which involved such
delights as eating fish eyes and cooking over an
open fire. Big Beat gave them the opportunity
to create music and rhythms on a variety of
recycled instruments, and Challenge Day saw
them competing in a number of academic and

rom collaborations with Millfield
Senior School to celebrating individual
achievements, all of our musicians have
shown commitment, enthusiasm and
practised hard for performances and exams.
Our fledgling Year 4 Orchestra each chose
a new instrument to try and their efforts
culminated in a wonderful concert. The
Rock & Pop Concert was full of energy and
our Summer and Autumn concerts were a
highlight of the event calendar, as was the
Joint Choral Concert, with pupils from Year 3
up to the Sixth Form at Millfield performing
together. Harry Kemp was selected to play
trumpet for Somerset County Youth Concert
Band and many pupils were involved in
performances in the community and in
aid of charitable causes.

Our Year 8 thespians put on a version of the popular
panto Cinderella. With the obligatory ‘ugly’ sisters
and a gaggle of interesting characters, there were
‘oohs’, ‘aahs’ and ‘boos’ in all the appropriate places!
Year 7 breathed life into the land of Oz with several
scarecrows, tin men and cowardly lions, giggling
munchkins, dive bombing monkeys and even two
barking dogs.
Finally, Year 6 transported us to ancient Greece
with their adaptation of Fleeced. The audience set

of Argonauts, on their quest to find the Golden Fleece
enjoying their adventures along the way.

Athletics
The U13 basketball season was a bit of a mixed bag.
For the first time, the school entered the South West
U14 Basketball League and, as in previous years,
we also competed in the Central Venue League. The
boys were playing a year above their age bracket
in the South West League and this certainly
showed at the beginning of the season.
While these are the highs, the rest of the season
was also very successful. Our teams travelled the
county competing in a variety of events and pupils
from Years 3 to 8 represented the school in the
quest for personal bests.
We competed against teams such as the Taunton
Tigers and Bristol Jets who both have very strong
and long-established programmes. For many
of our players, this was their first time playing
organised basketball. We were fortunate to
have two experienced players in Roberto Garcia
Rodriguez and Danila Margevich who provided
leadership and expertise to their teammates. Louis
Barker showed excellent dedication to the sport
and the team, often coming to matches before or
after swimming competitions. Finn Mitchell, Ollie
Sly and Jordan Wood, three excellent athletes,
picked up the sport quickly and made significant
contributions to the team. We finished off the South
West league towards the bottom of the table but
the boys deserve praise for the games they did win.
To put their accomplishments in perspective, at the
beginning of the season they were losing matches
by rather large margins but, by the end of the
season, they had picked up the odd victory and
were only losing by a handful of points.
Junior and senior inter-house athletic events
provided a great spectacle for the parents, with
new records set, which pupils are already queuing
up to beat next season!
Our Central Venue League matches were played on
Sundays at Jubilee Hall. The boys were playing in the
correct age bracket in this league and managed to
go undefeated, eventually winning the league title.
The highlights of this year’s season came after
summer term had ended. The girls’ senior athletic
team qualified for the English Schools Cup Final
in Gateshead. They performed extremely well and
competed against the best athletes in the country.
The team finished 5th overall, which is the best
result since our school began competing in this
event. Just two days later we sent our largest
ever team to the National Prep Schools Final in
Birmingham. Tyler Olding won the discus and
there were medals for Henry Maylam, Emma
Costigan and Ellie Lloyd. This followed the South
West Championships where we celebrated 42
athletes on the podium.

Cricket
The highlight of a busy season was the success of
the U11 Eight-a-Side Hardball team in winning the
National title – the fifth such triumph since 1998.
The squad comprised Will Smeed (Captain), Scott
Reed, Harvey Morland, Tom Hall, Max Hancock,
Henry Smeed, Joe Mallett, Max French, George
Fox and Oliver Burnett.
teams had excellent records, winning all their
matches. Will Smeed scored an unbeaten 100
against Cardiff Cricket Club, captained both his
school team and Somerset U11s and even played
three matches for the 1st XI towards the end of
term. Will’s brother Henry also looks a great
prospect and captains Somerset’s U10 side. Well
done also to Will Owen and Edward Jeanes who
also scored centuries for school teams.
A younger than usual 1st XI did very well to reach
the semi-final of the National David English/
Bunbury Cup. The Somerset County U13 Shield
was also retained with a decisive 10 wicket success.
In Year 7, Sam Young was outstanding with the bat,
scoring 507 runs at an average of 72.42, Freddy
Zander’s left-arm spin saw him emerge as leading
wicket taker, Ned Dunning led the side well, also
scoring 415 runs and taking 14 wickets and Tom
Hall’s all-round ability brought him 247 runs and
15 wickets with his off-spin.
Girls’ Cricket continues to flourish with very
healthy attendances throughout the year at
Mr Beal’s sessions. The senior girls’ team gained
decisive victories against Clifton Prep and Monkton
Combe, while the junior girls achieved a fantastic
success against an older team from All Hallows.
Harriet Dimdore-Miles, at the age of 10, became
the youngest girl ever to represent the Somerset
U13 Girls’ side.
The 2nd XI/U12A side had outstanding results, the
final win being a comfortable victory in the County
Cup Final. The U13B team won the annual Millfield
Prep T20 Tournament – a thrilling success off the
very last ball. The U12B and U13C teams both had
100% records.
Some of the girls were inspired by a coaching
session with three England players. Former player
Ebony Rainford-Brent and current players Caroline
Atkins and Holly Colvin led the session focussed on
batting, bowling and fielding. The visit was arranged
by the Lady Taverners to help raise the profile of
girls’ cricket.
For the first time this year eight fixtures were
arranged for a Junior Development Squad involving
players in Years 6, 5 and 4. The U11A and U10A
Danes became Year 8 House champions; Angles and
Jutes shared the honours in Year 7. In Years 6 and 5,
Saxons and Jutes were the respective winners.

With a record 19 junior schools taking part in the
Mendip Junior League it was always going to be
very competitive, with the four best results from
five matches counting. Sam Raad won all five races
in the Year 3 and 4 Boys. The Year 3 and 4 Girls
and Year 5 and 6 Girls were both 3rd in the team
competition. Rory Nicholson and Niall Caley were
1st and 2nd in the Year 5 and 6 Boys’ event and the
team was 1st.
In the Mendip Senior League, Juliet Grogan Poulsen
was 1st overall in the Year 7 Girls with the team also
1st. The Year 7 Boys were 1st overall and the Year 8
Girls won the team competition with Ella Sykes
winning the individual award.
From 650 starting teams, both our boys’ and girls’
squads qualified for the National Final alongside 24
schools at the National Schools Cross Country Cup
in Bolton. The girls finished 10th and the boys
finished 21st.
At the National Prep Schools Championships, Niall
Caley was 7th and Rory Nicholson 10th in the Year
5 and 6 Boys’ race and the team won bronze medals.
In the Year 7 and 8 Girls’ race Ella Sykes and Rosie
Smith continued their fantastic season with a 7th
and 9th to help Millfield Prep win the Championship
for the third time in 10 years. Since it started in
1993, our girls have won eight times. In the Year 7
and 8 Boys’ race William Lewthwaite finished a
creditable 16th and the team was 23rd.

Ella Sykes had a magnificent run at the Somerset
Championships to win the Year 8 and 9 category a
year young. She was selected to run for Somerset in
the National Championships and finished 100th out
of 320 girls and helped Somerset to finish 10th.
As usual, the Edgarley Relays attracted top teams
from around the South West and beyond. Our girls
hadn’t won the event since 2010 but due to their
form this year, they started as favourites. Ella Sykes
ran the fastest time, Rosie Smith 2nd and Juliet
Grogan Poulsen 4th meaning their team won the
race convincingly. The girls showed strength and
depth with the B team finishing 3rd. The boys had
an exciting battle with Sir John Colfox School from
Dorset to finish 4th, with William Lewthwaite the
9th fastest runner.

matches were won, without a single goal being
conceded. The team was superbly captained by
Ciaran Donoghue.
The U12s had an outstanding season. Despite
an early exit in the ESFA Cup, their potential was
rewarded with a Mendip League Cup win. Stuart
Rushmere and Harry Gardner got through to the
Exeter Academy and Will Coate is a regular player
for the Bristol City U12 team.
In the ISFA Regional 7-a-Side Tournament our U9
team reached the final, only to lose out to Taunton
Prep in a penalty shoot-out. At the same event, our
Girls’ U11 side also did very well to finish as runnersup to Shebbear College. The U9 Boys’ team
completed a hat-trick of runners-up awards when
they went down 2-3 to local rivals Elmhurst in the
final of the Millfield Prep Tournament.
The U13 girls did extremely well in the ESFA Cup,
getting down to the last 16 out of 380 schools
but with a weakened side due to injury, they lost to
the eventual winners of the Cup. A special mention
goes to Lauren Dolan who was chosen to play
for Somerset.
The customary fixtures against local schools – both
prep and state – took place at U11, U10, U9 and U8.
Jordan Edson was top scorer with 10 goals for the
U11A team and the highlight of the 8-2 win by the
U8 team against Perrott Hill was the seven goals
scored by Freddie Turnell.

Our U11 and U13 teams both became County
Champions and the 1st XI was undefeated in regular

Tournament at the start of the season. Led by
captain and JRPC player David Greenhill, we
narrowly missed out at the West and National
IAPS Finals. With the strongest team since we won
the Nationals back in 2010, we were desperately
unfortunate to be defeated in sudden death
overtime or penalty flicks. However, we are passing
on an outstanding set of hockey players and further
down the school there is an exceptionally strong
pool of talent. There are exciting times ahead for
our hockey teams.
The new development of running Junior B team
tournaments alongside A team events provided
further opportunity for player development. Both
U9 and U10 teams finished as runners-up in their
tournaments with the U10A team retaining their

winning the Millfield Prep Tournament to complete
their unbeaten season. The superb U10s reached
the final of their tournament and are a team to

The U11 girls are the most improved year group with
all girls challenging for positions throughout almost
three terms. The A team notably came runners up
at the Counties and went on to demonstrate their
steep learning curve to be crowned West of

Our U12s are set to impress next year with this
year’s B and C teams proving unbeatable in all
school fixtures. The A team became silver medallists
at the prestigious IAPS Nationals Finals and have
the flair to go one better next season.
Due to their depth of talent, the U13 team often
played fixtures against higher ranked teams.
This proved to be very beneficial and the girls
participated in closely contested matches.
The U13A girls endured the longest season
and achieved outstanding results. They finished
as Somerset, West of England and West IAPS
Champions, reaching the National Finals. The
girls have demonstrated natural flair and fantastic
ability and will undoubtedly go on to become stars
of the future.

The season kicked off in very wet conditions in the
autumn term with 24 children taking part in the
qualifying time trials for the Schools Biathlon
competition, along with over 6000 school children
from across the country. These qualifiers were
followed by the Area semi-finals at Millfield and we
were delighted to find that a record 13 Millfield Prep
pupils had qualified for the National Finals at Crystal
Palace. Following fantastic results the previous year,
the pressure was on, but they did not disappoint. Top
individual performer was Niall Caley, finishing 3rd
in the Year 6 boys field. Josh Lawson, already a top
swimmer, worked hard on his running and finished
8th in the hotly-contested Year 8 boys. With Charlie
Samouelle and Nick Laws, the boys’ team was an
impressive 2nd overall. Alice Gray was top Millfield
Prep girl, finishing 12th in the Year 7 girls’ event.
Nick Laws, Juliet Grogan Poulsen, Loveday
Hedgcock and Alexander Sargeant took part in
the Modern Triathlon competition, with qualifiers
at Millfield and subsequent Nationals in Solihull.
Although fairly small in competitor numbers, this
is a difficult sport, with very different disciplines

With 17 teams from Years 3-8, all the girls who
wanted to be involved were able to play in a
competitive game.
The U8s worked hard during the term, learning
the rules and tactics involved and impressed all the
games staff with their commitment and enthusiasm.
The U9As had an unbeaten season and with such a
big year group the competition was on for places in
the team and this kept everyone on their toes. At the
U9 Millfield Prep Tournament the U9As finished as
champions and the U9Bs played brilliantly to be
runners-up in an A team competition.
Our U10s entered Exeter, Leweston, King’s Bruton
and Millfield Prep Tournaments, were runners-up
in three of them and proved successful in their
friendly fixtures.
The U11A team had an unbeaten season in friendly
fixtures and were the tournament winners at
Badminton and Millfield Prep. All their hard work
paid off in the IAPS Regional Finals where team
spirit and determination gained them the IAPS
Regional U11 Champions trophy.
The U12 team had an outstanding year and won
the King’s Bruton and Millfield Prep Tournaments
convincingly, were unbeaten in fixtures and went
on to become IAPS South West U12 Champions.
The U12Bs were extremely strong and were
unbeaten in local fixtures, with many of the girls
pushing for an A team spot. Juliet Grogan Poulsen
was selected by Somerset a year young for the
County Satellite programme.
Our U13 girls started the year well by getting three
of the team into the Somerset County Satellite
squad – Millie Regan, Vicky Tait and Gaby Sexton.
With the Bryanston Tournament cancelled we were
unable to defend our title, but the girls started the
year with an abundance of wins in local fixtures.
They went on to become Millfield Prep Tournament
winners, Somerset County Champions and Regional
IAPS champions. The U13B team had a successful
term and were unbeaten in like-for-like fixtures.
We hosted this year’s Regional IAPS Netball
Tournaments at Millfield Senior School and the
home advantage definitely paid off with the girls
becoming West Champions in U11, U12 and U13 age
groups. It was a disappointment that the Nationals
were cancelled due to inclement weather.

Riding
The year began with great excitement as we
welcomed some new ponies to the yard. The
gorgeous mini Shetlands quickly became firm
favourites with all the pupils.
There was an increase in pupils taking up riding
lessons and many willing hands got stuck into
helping out in the yard. To support our riders,
Millfield Prep became a certified Pony Club centre,
which enabled many to work towards their Pony
Club badges and tests to improve their practical
and general knowledge.
Due to the progressions of our riders, more pupils were
able to compete at inter-school competitions and the
new partnerships between the ponies and riders grew
stronger and resulted in rosettes coming home.

For competitors who continued their riding outside
of school, some excellent results were recorded.
Many achieved personal bests and Phoebe Locke
competed in her first BE (British Eventing) 100
against adults and was thrilled to win her class.
As the year came to a close, the Millfield Prep

Our teams were able to complete most of their
school fixtures this year, which gave the opportunity
for every girl in Years 3 to 6 to play. All the girls
showed great determination and good
sportsmanship throughout the term.
Year 7 and 8 created three teams in each year group
and all girls had the chance to represent the school.
Most of our senior teams had to play up a group in
their school fixtures and this was reflected in their
results. They proved they had strength and depth
in producing wins over strong opposing teams.
The U8A, U9A, U9B, U10A, U12A, U13A had an

all won the Millfield Prep Tournaments. The U10
event was cancelled due to inclement weather
and the U11As were missing five girls from their
original team but still went on to win the
Clayesmore Tournament.
The 1st team had an outstanding season, winning
the U15 Colston’s Tournament, Millfield Prep
Tournament, Port Regis Tournament and went
on to win the JET National Rounders Competition
in a thrilling match against Denstone College.

Rugby
Our teams were galvanised for the season and,
individually, three Year 8 boys and three Year 6 boys
were selected for trials in the hope of being selected
for the South West Barbarian Rugby teams. Henry
Lunn, Jack Burnett and Oran McNulty were all
successful and were picked to play at U13 level for
the South West Barbarians.
Henry and Oran then went one better and were
selected to play for the England Lambs Independent
Schools Rugby team. This entailed a tour to the
south of France and both boys played very well
in their matches.
Scott Reed, Harvey Morland and Will Smeed were
all selected for the U11 South West Barbarians team.

Rugby Sevens
In December the U13s and U11s travelled to
Bryanston School to participate in the first of the
major sevens tournaments. The U11s reached the
quarter-final but lost out to Cheltenham. The U13s
reached the final against St Olave’s, winning 15-7
to retain the trophy. Jordan Wood was presented
with the Player of the Tournament award.
At the U13 Port Regis Sevens, with several key
players missing from the team, we managed to
reach the final, narrowly losing to Kingswood
School from Bath.
At The Downs Sevens the 1st VII again managed
to progress through to the final where they played
well to beat St John’s-on-the-Hill 36-14, again
retaining the trophy. Also, the U11s played brilliantly
to win through to the final where they met The
Dragon. After full time the scores were level which
meant extra time. Whoever scored first was the
winner and unfortunately that wasn’t to be us.
On the same day, an U12 VII entered the Warwick
Sevens, played well and were unfortunate to just lose
in the quarter-final to Portsmouth Grammar School.
56
At the Caldicott Sevens our 1st VII won their group
but were beaten by Shrewsbury House in the
quarter-final. Our U12 VII playing in the second
team tournament narrowly lost in their final.
At the Millfield Sevens the 1st VII again reached
a final which was played against Dulwich Prep,
London, and the boys put in a great performance
to win the match 20-0, thus retaining the trophy.
The U11s also played well, winning their group
and going through to compete in The Cheney Cup
which they won by defeating The Downs 21-0.
The finale to the seven’s season is the National
School Sevens which is the biggest schools’ rugby
tournament in the world and the most prestigious
event on the school’s sevens circuit. In atrocious
conditions we won our group matches convincingly.
Our group play off was against Holmewood House
and the team turned in an excellent performance
to win 30-5. In the quarter-final we came up against
St John’s-on-the-Hill, a team we had beaten fairly
comprehensively in an earlier tournament. However,
we didn’t play our best sevens and just lost 17-19.

Swimming
The swimming squad has had another fabulous year,
starting with the selection of Louis Barker, Joshua
Lawson and Kitty Snaydon into the England Talent
Development Squad.
At the Somerset County Championships, the squad
was crowned the Top Age Group Swimming Club in
the county. Personal best times tumbled and, more
importantly, skills and techniques were improved
in training sessions and taken into races. Well done
to the following swimmers for setting new school
records: Louis Barker, Alice Gouldby, Thomas
Hewitt, Joshua Lawson, Kitty Snaydon and
Olivia Twynham-Richardson. We also had 3
top swimmers in their age group (bagcats):
Alex Sargeant, Santos Villalon and Dan Elkin.
Twenty four swimmers qualified for the South West
Championships at Millfield Senior School. This event
is highly ranked in the swimming year and contains
only the best club swimmers in the South West of
England for each age and stroke. Two school records
were broken by Alice Gouldby and Thomas Hewitt
and extra National Qualifying times were gained
by Santos Villalon (3) and Oliver Manser (3).

Tennis
The Year 8 boys’ team reached the finals of the
Aegon National Schools at Bolton but narrowly
lost to the number one seeds, Reeds School,
in a very exciting final. The team included Luke
Hammond, Finn Bass, Tristan Rudolph, Tim
Kiehl and Matthew Crofts.
Our team made it through the county stages
of the boys and girls Year 8 Aegon National
Schools Competition and will go on to
compete at regional level.
Matthew Crofts represented Somerset at U12 and
U14 in the County Cup and Oliver Monteiro and
Emily Thomas represented their respective counties
(Somerset and Avon) at the U12 County Cup. Sam
Raad, Grace Raad and Adam Lewis-Williams
also represented Somerset in the U9 County Cup.
Lefteris Ngugi won the Somerset Area Finals of
the Road to Wimbledon Competition and went
on to represent Millfield Prep in the finals at the
All England Lawn Tennis Club. Luke Hammond
won the National Finals of this event last summer
and was presented with his trophy by Tim Henman.
Lefteris was School Champion this year, beating
Roberto Garcia Rodriguez in the final. He played
several Tennis Europe events and represented
Kenya in the Junior Davis Cup.

Our Mini Red, Orange and Green teams have
continued to go from strength to strength,
improving their ratings and competing regularly
in local tournaments. Eight of our players attended
the LTA Talent ID Day in Weymouth. We have over
50 Mini Tennis players training in squads and there
is some real talent coming through to follow in the
footsteps of Luke Hammond and Finn Bass.
Both our boys’ and girls’ teams competed in the
Aegon National Schools Championships this year,
which is an U18 competition. Our boys qualified
for Tier 2 of the U14 Aegon National Club League
which provided our players with the opportunity
to compete against some very strong teams in
singles and doubles.
A large group of keen parents attended
Parents’ Tennis on Thursday mornings and
we had a very entertaining Save the Children
Doubles Tournament, featuring a couple of
very well dressed clowns.

Boys and, along with Edward Wardell and Bertie
Howard-Higgins, came 1st in the team placings.
Ollie Sly was 1st in the U13 Boys’ category and
Josh Deighton enjoyed a personal best score,
finishing 4th. Lucas Wilson came 5th and together
the boys won their team event. Our U11 girls
finished 4th in the team competition, four of
whom were still under age nine. In the U13 Girls’
individuals, Celeste Sifontes Pico was 1st – another
South West Champion for Millfield Prep – and
Eleanor Lloyd was 0.6 behind for silver. Vicky Tait
and Bethan Close made up the team and together
the girls achieved 1st place.
At the Southern Schools competition, Ollie was in
good form, achieving 2nd place and earned himself
a place in the National Finals. In the team event,
Ollie, Josh, and Lucas were joined by Marcus Vevey
and were 2nd, qualifying for the National Schools.
Our U13 girls bounced well but not quite enough
to reach the National Finals, although Celeste was
almost there, placed 4th. The team were also 4th.
Our U11 boys were close to the Nationals with the
team in 4th, with Arthur placed 5th in the individuals.
The National Schools competition, held at Cannock,
was where our remaining pupils competed in the
U13 Boys’ event. Ollie competed well for 5th place
and the team of Ollie, Marcus, Josh and Lucas
finished just outside the medals in 4th place.

Captain Says.
We had to do
all sorts of silly
things like ride
the kayak like
a horse, or do
a wheelie. My
favourite was
sitting on the

and balancing
it so we didn’t
fall in... I fell in!
At the end we

Achieving with the Cubs
Cubs has proved a popular choice for our Junior
pupils and they successfully worked towards a
number of badges including Scientist, Map Reader
and Communicator. Their activities each week
have seen them outdoors finding their way with
a compass, enjoying scavenger hunts, nature trails,
erecting tents, singing along to campfire songs and
toasting marshmallows on an open fire – yum!
On and in the water
A summer of good weather provided the
opportunity to try out some water sports. Older
pupils were able to join the PADI sub-aqua training
course, jet skiing was great fun and after honing
their skills in the school pool, kayaking at
Weymouth proved very popular. Following
confidence and balance games, they managed
voyages across the bay which tested their
new found talents and sense of humour after
a few soakings!

With so much to choose from, the list of MultiActivities and Clubs has provided many opportunities
for pupils to try new things and learn valuable skills.
Groups have been underground at Swildon’s Hole
Cave, braving the dark, wet and cold and discovering
a great sense of achievement when they emerged
back out into the open. As well as practising on the
climbing wall at school, pupils travelled to Split Rock
Quarry to put their skills to the test.

Chess Challenges
The year began with Max French winning his
first International tournament by claiming victory
in the U10 Championships at the Gibraltar
International Junior Championships. It also finished
in fine style with Roberto Garcia Rodriguez winning
his first adult chess event at the Bristol Rapidplay.
In between, Millfield Prep contested matches
against Stoberry Park and Ubley for the first time
and organised the inaugural Millfield Prep Chess
Challenge Day. The day saw 10 local primary
schools competing in matches, tackling dastardly
problems, doing a fair bit of running around and
getting expert tuition from Millfield Senior School
chess captain, Alex Gould, and our resident
Grandmaster, Matthew Turner. If that wasn’t
enough they also got to try out our brand new ipads.
After some lovely training
conditions in the autumn term,
our crews at the IAPS Regatta at
Farmoor Reservoir in Oxford got
a bit of a shock as they found
themselves competing in windy
conditions with temperatures in
single figures! Laura Woodward,
sailing with Octavia Greig, and
Isabella Lunn with Tobias HunterTod had a tough day with a steep
learning curve, but came away
having learned a lot from some
top-class young sailors.
The summer sailing was pretty
breezy on several weeks, but
very successful, with our beginners
crewing for the more experienced
sailors. A gale forecast unfortunately
put paid to a planned friendly
regatta with Plymouth College,
but the pupils have enjoyed sociable
racing with King’s Hall, Taunton.
Max French, Roberto Garcia Rodriguez and
Eduard Ksenofontov went on to represent the
Glastonbury adult side and Millfield Senior School
team, helping the latter to the quarter-final of the
National (U18) Championships.

the country, the aim was to
finish in the top half of the large,
competitive fleet of over 50 boats.
Showing serious determination,
Nigella Landrock and Octavia
Greig achieved a super 21st place
overall. Although a number of crews
found the conditions too strong for
them, our boys team of Edward
Jeanes and Nick Laws produced
some great boatspeed and finished
in a very respectable 26th place.

Charity and Community
T
his year, there were traditional
favourites such as Comic Relief
and Children in Need as well as new
and interesting ideas to raise funds
for good causes. Much of this fundraising
wouldn’t have been possible without the
enthusiasm and organisational skills of
our Millfield Prep Parents’ and Friends’
Committee. Through regular bake sales
and coffee mornings and full-scale events
such as the May Fair, their efforts, with the
support of parents, pupils and staff, have
helped to raise thousands of pounds for
the school’s chosen charities.
cakes and sold them to parents. Andrew Hewitt
organised his own sponsored swim and was well
supported by his family and friends. Harry Kemp
organised a car boot sale from items donated by
neighbours and friends. Alexander Sargeant’s
‘Scrumptious Scones’ were a hit. He made a
phenomenal 378 scones with the help of his
grandma and ingredients donated by neighbours
and local businesses. Between these events alone,
the pupils raised over £525.

Harvest Appeal
This year, rather than simply donating money for the
school appeal, the pupils were asked to ‘sow’ some.
From a small start of £5 or £10, they came up with
some ingenious ideas to grow the money in aid of
ShelterBox. An ‘Amazing Shoe Shine’ was set up in
Clarks Village by Oska and Morgan Zaky and Rosie
and Ruby Smith with help from Lando Norris. Tyler

and raised around £460 for the RSPB
and the Lions Club.
Junior Sponsored Swim
The Juniors’ swim brought in an amazing
£1,061 for their charity, Cancer Research,
and the Lions.
Romania Appeal
Caretaker, Tim Kelly, his wife Lesley
and their supporters made their annual
journey to Alexandra Orphanage in
Romania to provide much needed
clothing and general supplies and
to offer support to the children who
live there. School fundraisers, local
businesses and donations of items from
our families contributed to this effort.

May Fair
A delicious barbecue, Maypole dancing,
Pimms and strawberries and a variety of
entertainment kept everyone happy for
the day. Pupils came up with innovative
fundraising ideas including ‘Guess the
Weight of a Sheep’, and altogether the
Fair raised a staggering £2,500.
Bake Sales
Delicious cakes were produced and sold
during the Children in Need Best Bake
competition and a bake sale on Red
Nose Day by Prep and Pre-Prep families
raised over £1,000.
World Book Day
Donations from Prep pupils on their
book character day raised £392.60 for
Life for a Cure. Pre-Prep raised £35.50
from their book swap which went to the
Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance.
Tour of Wessex Bike Ride
Four members of staff completed the
Wessex three day bike ride; an extremely
tough challenge consisting of 335
miles and 25,000 feet of climbing
through Somerset, Wiltshire and
Dorset. From generous sponsorship
their efforts raised close to £1,000
for St Margaret’s Hospice.
World Water Day
Jutes House had lots of fun polishing
staff shoes and raised £71.40 for the
charity Wateraid.
Christmas Fair, Bishop’s Palace
The Junior Choir were one of the star
attractions at this festive event in
Wells which helped support Tim Kelly’s

Green Team
For the autumn and spring terms, environmental
work has formed part of the Wednesday afternoon
Multi-Activity programme. Each week, groups of
children have worked with the Natural England
volunteers at Shapwick Heath on projects such
as habitat preservation and maintaining paths
on the reserve.
Woodland Trust
Children from the Pre-Prep worked with pupils
from Years 6, 7 and 8 to plant hundreds of saplings
in the lower orchard area. The trees came from the
Woodland Trust and are doing well. We have been
pleased as well to note that the trees planted by Year
4 and 5 a few years ago are also growing very nicely.
Climate Week
As part of Climate Week at the beginning of
March, the Green reps took part in the Climate
Week Challenge. For the whole morning, teams
worked to research and design an Eco Home, which
was a valuable exercise in collaboration, research
and planning. It also provided an opportunity to test
the network capabilities with the new iPads, which
were used extensively.
Waste Week
A whole-school assembly highlighted the main
areas of wasted resources in school. Later that
week, we welcomed Neil Gemmell from Carymoor
Environmental Trust, who gave an excellent
assembly, reinforcing the Reduce-Reuse-Recycle
theme and also introduced pupils to wasteassociated issues in other parts of the world.
The Juniors then enjoyed a workshop, making
recycled paper and getting very messy!
Green Flag status
Following an assessment by an Eco Schools
representative, we were pleased to discover
that our Green Flag status had been approved
and renewed for another two years. The assessor
kindly commented that ‘It is clear that both parts
of the school are working closely together to build
a consistent culture of sustainability across the
school. The opportunities for children to participate
in environmental learning and projects are very
good, and the strong links with local companies,
groups and individuals have given the children a
very good understanding of their place within the
local community. Well done.’
