Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions a family can make. At Myddelton College, we understand that every child is unique — in their strengths, ambitions, interests and learning style. That’s why we’ve built an educational experience designed to nurture the whole student, helping them flourish academically, socially and personally.
Located in the historic market town of Denbigh, at the gateway to the Welsh countryside, Myddelton College combines the best of traditional British education with a modern, forward-thinking approach. Our philosophy is rooted in three core pillars: Scholarship, Fellowship and Resilience. These values sit at the heart of everything we do.
Academic Excellence Through Scholarship
Our academic programme is designed to stretch, support and inspire students at every stage.
- Small class sizes ensure personalised attention
- Expert teachers provide targeted support and enrichment
- Broad and balanced curriculum offering strong foundations in core subjects
- Advanced pathways in STEM, humanities, creative arts, sport and outdoor education
- Digital innovation integrated across the curriculum, preparing students for the future
Whether they join us in Year 5, Year 9 or Sixth Form, students benefit from a learning environment that encourages curiosity, independence and ambition.
A Community Built on Fellowship
Myddelton College is known for its warm, supportive and close-knit school community.
We believe students thrive when they feel seen, valued and connected. Through our pastoral care system, every student is known as an individual. House staff, tutors and mentors work closely together to ensure students have the guidance and encouragement they need.
Our co-curricular programme strengthens this sense of community, offering:
- Over 80 clubs and activities
- Performing arts, choir, drama and music ensembles
- Competitive sports including football, equestrian, tennis, rugby and netball
- Leadership opportunities through prefect roles, student council and community service
This culture of fellowship helps students develop confidence, empathy and social skills that stay with them for life.
Building Resilience for the Future
In an ever-changing world, resilience is one of the most valuable qualities a young person can develop. At Myddelton College, we help students embrace challenges, build confidence and learn how to persevere. Our stunning campus provides the perfect environment for outdoor learning and adventure. Students can take part in:
- Duke of Edinburgh Award
- Outdoor pursuits including hiking, canoeing and climbing
- Team-building and leadership development
- Bushcraft and survival skills sessions
By stepping outside their comfort zone, students learn to believe in themselves — and this empowers them to achieve more than they ever thought possible.
A Global Community With a Family Feel

Many of our boarders say that Myddelton becomes their “home away from home”.
