Roadworks Coleshill Street and Atherstone Street - Expect disruption
You will have seen from the signs on the roads outside of school that significant roadworks are scheduled to start next week (Monday 15th September) and are due to last until the 10th October.
This work is likely to cause serious disruption and we would urge all parents / carers to try to avoid driving to school during this time and walk to school where possible.
Full details of the works including road closures are available by clicking here.
What's your favourite Roald Dahl book?
Our Author of the Month for September 2025 is one of the most prolific and popular children's authors of all time - Roald Dahl.
Our assemblies this week will be all about Roald Dahl and his books and some of our children will be taking part in Roald Dahl workshops as we celebrate Roald Dahl Day on the 13th September.
Be prepared for your children to ask you what your favourite Roald Dahl story was when you were at school.
Why not read a Roald Dahl story together this month to celebrate Roald Dahl day this month?
Keep on reading!
A Message from Mr Kelly
Good afternoon,
I hope you have had a good start to the new term and school year. It has been fantastic to welcome pupils back to school to begin their learning again, as well as welcome our new pupils and their families to Millfield in EYFS.
I want to make you aware that this will be my last term with you at Millfield and that I will step down as head teacher of the school at Christmas.
I have informed the Community Academy Trust and governing board of the school of my decision.
Although Christmas is a sometime away I am informing you of my decision now so that the trust can move forward with the appointment process in an open and transparent way.
I will be speaking to the children in school about this in our Star of the Week assembly today and will tell them the exciting news that they will have a new head teacher after Christmas.
After 35 years working in primary schools (with 17 years of these as head teacher of schools) I have decided that the time is right for me to step back from school leadership.
It has been an honour to lead Millfield over the past 12 years but I believe the time has come for someone new to take over the role.
I have loved being head teacher of Millfield – it is where I have felt most at home throughout my career. This is because of the amazing pupils I have worked with throughout my time here and the great support from parents and carers. I have also been privileged to work with some fantastic staff.
There are still four months of the year to go before I leave and I want to make these the best four months for all pupils in which they enjoy all aspects of their life at school make the best possible progress with their learning.
Keep on, keeping on.
Simon Kelly
Head teacher - Millfield Primary School
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 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
