Millfield is an independent co-ed boarding school in Street, Somerset.
School Motto: Molire Molendo
It is one of the top sporting schools in the UK, with perhaps the best sports facilities of any school in the country, especially in terms of aquatic and equestrian sports.
It was founded in the early 20th Century by Boss Meyer in the house originally owned by the Clarke family - who owned and ran Clarkes shoes. Over the years the school aquired land and houses around the localle, and a result there are now many boarding houses within a 10-15 miles radius of the original site.
For a while it was the most expensive public school in the country and was the alma mater for the children of many rich and famous people; in the 1970's, the children of the following were at the school: Sean Connery, Oliver Reid, Omar Shariff, Arthur Marshman, Adnan Kashoggi, Henry Mancini.
Unusually, quite a few pupils have appeared at the Olympics, whilst still at the school.
