• Staffing News:

  Fri 11 Nov 2022

  We have been very lucky that Miss Collins has been a teacher at Millfield School for over 10 years. Miss Collins has taught and supported children across a range of Year groups and has been a valuable member of the Millfield staff team.

   

  Unfortunately, Miss Collins will be leaving Millfield this half term; her last day will be Wednesday 16th November 2022. I am sure you will join me in wishing Miss Collins all the very best in her future endeavours.

   

  We will be welcoming Mrs Tyrrell to the Millfield team from Monday 21st November 2022. Mrs Tyrrell will join Mrs Farrant to teach in Maple Class.
