• COVID-19

  Thu 02 Dec 2021

  Thank you for your support and understanding during this period of increased preventative measures at Millfield. Hertfordshire County Council stated today that the preventative measures in place at Millfield are currently helping to reduce the transmission rates of COVID-19 within school. 

   

  How can Millfield parents/carers help?

  • Read communications from school.
  • Share information regarding lateral flow/PCR tests and results with school as soon as possible.
  • Follow Government guidelines regarding testing and self-isolation.
  • Even though you are outside, wear a face covering whilst on the school site as it is difficult to keep a distance between adults during busy times.
  • Do not enter the school building; this includes the school office. Please phone or email instead.
  • Ensure you arrive and collect your child promptly. On arrival, the school gate closes by 9:00am. As you cannot access the school office, if you arrive after this time, you will have to wait for an available member of staff to collect your child.

• Message from Millfield PTA

  Thu 02 Dec 2021

  I just wanted to share with you that the PTA raised a fantastic £355 selling 'I love Buntingford' shopping bags during the ‘Lights of Love’ community event on Friday 26^th November.

   

  It was a very cold evening, so a special thank you to the pupils who stood in the cold.

   

  If you would like to purchase a bag, we will be selling bags along the high street in a number of shops. We have recently gained new sponsorships with 12 local businesses to enable us to print a new run of bags.

   

  Many thanks for all your support,

  Alex

  Millfield PTA

  • The Year 1 children will share Christmas songs via the school website on their year group page by Tuesday 21^st December 2021.

  • Christmas cards: If your child wishes to write Christmas cards to their school friends this year, they are welcomed to. However, to reduce movement between year groups, please encourage your child to only write cards to children in their year group.
  • The PTA had kindly arranged a Christmas Fair and a pantomime for children to enjoy during the run up to Christmas. We are currently in discussion with the PTA about these events.

   

  For your information:
