Myddelton College

The school’s values are built upon three pillars: Scholarship, Fellowship, and Resilience. It aims to foster a passion for academic rigour, a supportive community with an internationalist outlook, and a positive mindset that embraces challenges and persists in the pursuit of goals. The school emphasizes kindness, thoughtfulness, and the development of individual potential through personal profiling and development planning.

The school provides a comprehensive academic pathway from Pre-Prep (ages 4–7) through Prep (ages 7–11) to Senior School (ages 11–16) and Sixth Form (ages 16–18). The curriculum is supported by a 1:1 tablet programme, with lessons delivered via Microsoft OneNote and Teams. Senior pupils follow a curriculum that includes GCSEs, while the Sixth Form offers A-Level pathways, including a One Year A-Level Fast Track Programme and NCUK qualifications. Outdoor and Adventure Education is integrated across all stages, ranging from outdoor learning in the Prep School to a Level 3 Diploma in Adventure Studies for older pupils.

The school provides tailored support to ensure pupils are both challenged and supported in their learning. The Preparatory School includes an ALNCo (Additional Learning Needs Coordinator) and staff trained in pupil wellbeing, such as Paws-B mindfulness instruction. Additionally, the school offers 1:1 teaching assistants to provide individualised academic assistance.

The school manages admissions for day and boarding pupils aged 4–18. Prospective families are encouraged to visit the campus, and the admissions team provides individualised support throughout the application process. A non-refundable registration fee of £300 is required for all applicants, with an additional £150 application fee for international pupils. Financial support is available through merit-based scholarships and means-tested bursaries, with specific discounts offered for siblings, members of the Armed Forces, the Diplomatic Corps, and alumni of the former Howell’s School.

Located on a 37½-acre estate at the foot of the 13th-century Denbigh Castle, the campus blends historic architecture with modern facilities. Sports amenities include a full-size football pitch, a rugby pitch, four tennis courts, a large indoor sports hall, a gym, and a dance studio. The school also features an indoor climbing wall and a dedicated equestrian facility, which includes two 20-by-40-metre all-weather arenas, a ten-acre field, and access to local bridle paths.
