A Communication Friendly School

At Millfield we recognise that good communication is the gateway to learning, friendships, academic achievement and ultimately success in the future for all our pupils.  We are proud of our staff dedication towards building a communication friendly environment.

• A calm environment provides opportunities for everyone to talk, listen, understand and take part.

Our communication friendly environment provides support for learning and social and emotional development too. 

• Communication friendly classrooms make communication as easy, effective and enjoyable as possible, providing motivation and building self-esteem and self-confidence.

Communication friendly classrooms are good for all pupils.

• A communication friendly school supports all pupils and can be especially effective for pupils with Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN).

Building a Communication Friendly School requires a dedication from Millfield staff to attend Elklan training with a view to attaining official Elklan Communciation Friendly status in the future.
