  VE Day Celebrations

  We had a wonderful time celebrating VE Day at Millfield. The children worked brilliantly together to create beautiful window displays in their classrooms—we hope you enjoyed seeing them. Everyone looked fantastic dressed in red, white and blue, adding a vibrant touch to the day. The children shared a snack outside and later enjoyed a fantastic outdoor party filled with music, fun and lots of dancing! A huge thank you to the History Faculty for organising such a special event, helping us all to remember and honour an important moment in our history.

• Times Tables Rock Star and Number Day

  Fri 25 Apr 2025

  Today we’ve had an exciting and energetic Times Tables Rock Star (TTRS) and Number Day! The children have had a fantastic time celebrating all things maths – from rocking out in their Times Tables Rock Stars outfits to diving into fun, hands-on number challenges across the school. The enthusiasm and creativity shown by the children (and staff!) has been wonderful to see. Whether they were solving tricky puzzles, competing in friendly times tables battles or showing off their best rock star looks, everyone embraced the spirit of the day with joy and determination.

  Thank you for your support with costumes, encouragement and helping make maths feel fun and meaningful for our learners. Days like today help build confidence and a love for learning.
