Empowering minds, inspiring futures
Since the 1950s Milbourne Lodge has been renowned for its academic excellence. Helping our pupils believe in themselves and furnishing them with the tools to grasp every academic challenge is what motivates everyone here.
We are known as one of the pre-eminent Prep schools because the whole experience is underpinned by gently encouraging each child to take every opportunity and to always search for more.
Early Years Foundation Stage - GLD Data

At the end of the academic year 2022/2023, an exceptional 92% of Reception students (children aged 4-5) at Milbourne Lodge attained a Good Level of Development (GLD), significantly more than the national average of 69%. Additionally, a remarkable 15% of these students exceeded to GLD, showcasing excellence across all 17 Early Learning Goals (ELGs).

Maths and English Scores
Mean SAS (Standard age score)
Our pupils' academic progress is carefully monitored through annual National Standardised tests in English and Mathematics.
The Progress Test in English (PTE) assessed pupils' technical English skills, including spelling, grammar, punctuation and reading comprehension.
The Progress Test in Maths (PTM) monitors their mathematical skills and knowledge in areas such as number, shape, data handling and algebra, as well as their mathematical reasoning and problem-solving abilities.
The results presented above show age-standardised scored at Milbourne Lodge. Notably, our pupils have consistently achieved scores significantly above the national average in both English and Maths.
The SAS is a students raw score converted into a score that takes into account the student's precise age (in years and months) and benchmarks it to a national database. The average score is always 100.
