Fri 09 May 2025VE 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.
