We are looking forward to welcoming pupils back to school just one week from today on Wednesday 3rd September.

Across the summer holidays we have had improvement work completed in school with a brand new floor installed in our school hall.

Mr Lewis our school site manager has also been working hard painting and decorating some of our classrooms and fixing other sections of our school grounds.

As pupils return next week can we ask that you remind them of their new teacher and which classroom they will be going to - there will be staff on the gate to point pupils in the right direction on Wednesday morning but reminding them of this information before next week would be very helpful.

It would also be really helpful if you could make sure that all of your child's school uniform and equipment is clearly labelled with their name.

Once again last year we had huge amounts of lost property the majority of which was unnamed.

Please label everything with permanent marker! We really want to reduce the amount of lost property this year.

Thank you for supporting the summer reading challenge this year. Tamworth Library have been in touch to let us know that lots of pupils from Millfield have taken part this year. There is still time to complete the challenge so if you haven't yet pop down to the library and sign up! If anyone has started the challenge and hasn't finished yet - again there is still plenty of time with the challenge not ending until Monday 15th September.

All pupils who complete the challenge and invited to bring in their certificates awareded by the library to have presented at our Star of the week assemblies in September.

Finally if you have any queries or questions about the return to school next week please do not hesitate to email: headteacher@millfield.staffs.sch.uk

We are hoping that you are enjoying the summer break - there are now just two weeks until pupils return to school on Wednesday 3rd September.

A reminder if you have not already done so to help your child complete the summer reading challenge at Tamworth library. 

All pupils who complete the challenge are invited to bring in their certificate from the library to have presented at our Star of the Week assembly.

Keep on reading!

Tomorrow (Friday 18th July) is the last day of this academic year. 

Pupils finish for the summer holidays and return on Wednesday 3rd September.

We would like to thank parents / carers for your support and say well done to all our pupils who have worked so hard this year.

A special mention to our fantastic Year 6 pupils who leave us for the final time tomorrow for the next stage of their education at secondary school.

If there are any issues over the summer holidays please contact: headteacher@millfield.staffs.sch.uk 

Emails to this address will be monitored over the holidays.

Important: There will be a slight change to the end times of the school day for pupils in September.

EYFS and KS1 pupils will finish at 3.10pm (5 minutes later than current time)

All KS2 pupils (Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year ) will finish at 3.15pm.

This is a return to the times that were in place prior to the COVID pandemic and will bring us in line with governemnt recommendations for the length of the school day.

As you may be aware some proposals regarding changes to the end time of the school day were put forward in the autumn term last year with parents / carers asked to share their views.

Whilst the response about these proposals regarding extending the school day were positive from the majority of parents / carers there were some concerns about ‘wait times’ and other issues – we have listened to these concerns and made only these minor changes rather than the original changes proposed.
