Millfield Primary School in detail

Millfield Primary School in its own words

In its own words: "Millfield Primary School is a two form entry primary school that caters for pupils from EYFS to Year 6. The school is a mixture of buildings consisting of a main building (which has been significantly developed over time as the school has grown in size) and mobile classrooms which currently house six classes (two Y2, Y3 and Y4 classes)."

From the headteacher's welcome: "Choosing a school for your child is an important decision. You want them to feel safe, happy and known, to build friendships and to receive an education that gives them the best possible start. These are the things that matter to us too. Millfield is a school with a strong sense of community and a welcoming, family feel."
