Welcome

Welcome to our website

 

We  hope that it gives a flavour of our school and the philosophy behind it.  We are a small friendly family school.  The children here are hardworking, lively and happy and we do all we can to ensure that they are excited by their learning.


Our Ethos


Our aim is to prepare all the children who come to us for their future lives.  We do not know what the future will hold for them; what jobs will be available and what knowledge and skills will be required to enable them to have the happiest and most successful lives possible.  What we do know is that they will need to be resilient and adaptable.  They will have to be able to communicate well and have good social skills.  They will need to be able to use the knowledge they have in new situations, solve problems and be independent. 

 

At Millfield we provide as many chances for the children to develop these skills as possible.  We provide an exciting curriculum with a huge commitment to outdoor learning.  We use our extensive facilities to maximum advantage.  The school field backs onto a canal where children practise kayaking and canoeing.  All children in the school learn to swim and have the opportunity to learn to play a musical instrument.  We provide numerous free school visits to provide the children with as many new experiences as possible.  We understand that it is necessary to provide children with the academic knowledge and skills required to enable them to be successful, and we try to do this in the most engaging and innovative ways possible to make learning enjoyable so that it becomes a lifelong journey.

Our vision and values

 

Our vision and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning and provide an environment which prepares our pupils to be confident and happy citizens.

 

Promoting Fundamental British Values

 

In accordance with The Department for Education we aim to actively promote British values in schools to ensure young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law.

 

The Key Values are:

 

  • democracy
  • rule of law
  • individual liberty
  • mutual respect
  • tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
