  ‘The 2 Johns’ E-Safety Training: It was fantastic to see so many parents and carers joining us for the E-safety Training. The workshop was eye opening and informative, and we would like to thank ‘The 2 Johns’ for holding this event at Millfield. We hope that parents and carers that couldn’t attend on Tuesday joined the online workshop that ‘The 2 Johns’ kindly offered to our school community on Thursday evening.
