• Punctuality:

  Fri 20 Jan 2023

  We understand that getting back into routines can be a challenge after a break from school. However, being on time for school provides a really positive and calm start to the day for children. It can be upsetting for children to be the last ones to arrive when their peers are already settled and ready to learn. Please support your child by being on site by 8.45am when the classroom doors open.

   

  Please note, if individual arrival procedures have been discussed and agreed with the school for your child, please continue to arrive as planned.

• Strike Action Impact:

  Fri 20 Jan 2023

  As you may be aware, the National Education Union intend to carry out days of strike action over the coming months. The dates are: 1^st February 2023, 1st March, 15th March & 16th March.

   

  We are working with staff to establish the impact on teaching and learning of any strike action taken by teachers. We will be following guidance from the Department for Education and the Local Authority.

   

  In reference to the strike action on 1^st February, similarly to other schools, Millfield may not be running as normal. We anticipate being able to provide a full update to parents/carers early next week.
