 Millais girls also pursue excellence beyond the academic arena and the school has an exceptional reputation for sport with many girls representing Sussex and several representing England in international competitions.Students also perform in the West End and Chichester Playhouse Theatre and there is a thriving alumni of almost a thousand former students, many of whom return to Millais to talk to current students about their experiences and give tips and advice.The school's history can be traced back to 1928, when the Oxford Road Senior School opened.
