  Bike/Scooter Rack

  To ensure a safe front entrance to the school, the very small bike/scooter rack located by the main front entrance has been removed. However, please be assured, there is lots of room at our other bike rack locations (by The Cabin and the double field gates). Please ensure bikes and scooters are parked considerately against the racks or next to them if they are full. Thank you for your support.

  Wrest Park Trip

  Year 3 children thoroughly enjoyed themselves whilst visiting Wrest Park this week. The children had a fantastic time making clay money, exploring Roman life and culture, including looking at real and replica artefacts. This was followed by a walk and time spent at the play area within Wrest Park, where they also enjoyed a picnic. The children were brilliant representatives of Millfield. Well done Year 3 children!

  

• Reception Police Visit

  Thu 03 Jul 2025

  Millfield Reception children were thrilled to welcome Tor, a former detective, and Nina, a serving police officer, for a special visit.

   

  Tor and Nina spoke to the children about the importance of staying safe and what to do if they ever get lost. The children then designed posters showing who can help us and who helps keep us safe in our community.

   

  As part of this exciting hands-on experience, the children explored real police equipment, including handcuffs, a police hat, baton, and badge. The highlight of the visit was the chance to explore a real police car — and even hear the siren!

   

  A huge thank you to Tor and Nina for providing such a fantastic and engaging learning experience for our Early Years children. Reception had a wonderful time and learned vital information about how to stay safe.
