Millfield English Language Holiday Courses

Once again a huge thank you to all of our wonderfulstaff, students, parents and agents for yet another

memorable season.

I don’t know why but 2015 was a nostalgic year for meand our slogan 4EVER MILLFIELD got me thinking about

what we do and how we do it and what this means to somany people around the world. On my travels this year I met

so many past students in reunions and fairs. They were all soenthusiastic about their experiences with us and many of them

helped me to spread the message to new students. It made mevery proud to know that somehow what we do has touched their

young lives. I tried to think back to my own school days and Irealised it was not WHAT I was taught that I remember, HOW was

more important, but what I really remember now is how I was madeto FEEL. With the experience, passion, energy and enthusiasm that

abounds here we were certainly able to create that “feel good factor”again this year. Some of my highlights include the introduction of our

new mascot, Mylo, an amazing firework display and the burial of a timecapsule full of wonderful collective and individual memories. However,

what summed up my feelings most was the fifth Millfield Musical wherein keeping with the theme students travelled back through time to summer

schools past. A magnificent effort from all involved.

After all what are we but a product of our memories? The aim is to build many more in 2016 and we hope you come along for

the ride. It is going to be emotional!

Welcome

2016
