Community Academies Trust Geography Competition - Design Your Own Island!
We have already had some fanatastic entries into our Design Your Own Island competition - and there is still time to enter, with this week's upcoming Bank Holiday Weekend a great time to complete your design!
Competition Details
All pupils are invited to take part in this exciting competition being organised by our trust (Community Academies Trust) and design their very own island!
This competition is their opportunity to unleash their creativity and think about important geographical features.
They will need to consider the island's climate, human and physical landscape features, as well as create a unique flag and currency. They will need to pinpoint their island’s location on a world map and add physical features like volcanoes, rivers, and mountains.
They can submit their island design in any form they wish - be it a 3D model, a dazzling poster, or as a design booklet / brochure. It’s up to them!
All island designs need to be returned to school by Wednesday 7th May. Good luck
Back to School - Monday 28th April
School reopens for all pupils tomorrow (Monday 28th April) for the start of the new term.
A reminder that the school gate opens to pupils at 8.40am and closes at 8.55am.
Once the school gate is open pupils may make their way to their classrooms to start their learning,
It is crucial that all pupils should be in school no later than 8.55am so that no learning time is lost.
Well done to our attendance champions for last half term 3I who managed to just sneak out our previous champions 4A who were our winners over the previous three half terms of this academic year.
This is a very important term for all our pupils as some prepare for statutory assessments (Year 6 SATs, Y4 Multiplication Tables Check and Year 1 phonics screening) we will also after the half term in May begin to focus on preparing pupils for the next stage in their education, as we get them ready to move onto to their new classes / year groups for September and in the case of our Year 6 pupils their new secondary schools.
Remember attendance at school is crucially important and every day counts.
See you tomorrow!

Welcome to Millfield Primary School part of the Community Academies Trust.
As head teacher of Millfield I am extremely proud of the role and responsibility I have of leading and managing the school and making it the very best that it can be.
These are challenging but exciting times for Millfield Primary as we continue to move forward and ensure that all of our pupils make the best possible progress and achieve at the highest possible level.
We work hard to ensure all our pupils experience an exciting, engaging curriculum at our school that provides them with the knowledge and skills needed for the next stage of their education and their future lives.
Reading is at the heart of our curriculum. It is the most important skill that we must teach our pupils to ensure that they become fluent readers as quickly as possible.
We want every pupil at this school to be a confident, fluent reader who not only reads to learn but also reads for pleasure.
I am, along with all staff and all governors, committed to making our school a centre of excellence. We are all dedicated to accepting nothing but the best for our school and doing everything in our power to help every single pupil achieve their very best.
If your require any further information about the school or wish to make an appointment to visit us please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
Mr S Kelly - Head Teacher
