• PCSO Glen Stanway Visits Reception Classes

  Fri 27 Feb 2026

  We were delighted to welcome PCSO Glen Stanway to our Reception classes this week for a special visit focused on community safety and the important role of the police. During the session, PCSO Stanway spoke to the children about what a Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) does and how the police help people in our local community. The children learned about ways to stay safe and who they can talk to if they need help. The visit was both informative and engaging, with children eagerly listening and asking questions.

   

  This is what some of our Reception children said about the visit:

  “I loved hearing the sirens and the flashing lights.”

  “I want to be police officer.”

  “I know what a police car looks like.”

  

• 🎶Freman College Big Band

  Fri 27 Feb 2026

  It was a pleasure to welcome Freman College Big Band into Millfield for a special live music performance this week. During the session, the children had the opportunity to see and hear a wide range of instruments up close. The musicians explained how different sections of the band work together, helping children to recognise the unique sounds of brass, woodwind and rhythm instruments. This engaging and interactive experience supported our music curriculum and inspired children by bringing live performance into school.
