Millfield is a co-educational independent public school in Street, Somerset, England. The school currently has a roll of 1,200 pupils, of whom 935 are boarders. The school offers a number of academic and sports scholarships, along with a number of bursaries. A charitable trust, the Millfield Foundation, raises money to fund scholarships and bursaries. The school is a member of the G20 Schools Group and a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference. Millfield has its own preparatory school, Millfield Preparatory School at Edgarley Hall in nearby Glastonbury. == History == The £30,000 + per year school was founded in 1935 by Jack Meyer (referred to at Millfield as "Boss") in the mansion originally owned by the Clark family, who owned and ran the shoe manufacturer Clarks. Meyer, educated at Haileybury and Imperial Service College, adhered to the philanthropic aim "...to nurture talent by providing the very best facilities, teaching, coaching and opportunities in which young people can exercise and explore their abilities; and to give awards to those in financial need."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Boss Meyer )〕 In 1939, the school became one of the first independent schools to become co-educational. Over the years, the school acquired land and houses around the locale, and a result there were many boarding houses within a 10-mile (16-kilometre) radius of the original site; this resulted in boarders living at houses or billets in the outlying villages — being bussed in and out for lessons and meals; over recent years, many of these houses have been sold and the proceeds invested in new on-campus boarding houses. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Millfield」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
