Important - Protecting Pupils With Allergies
As we return to school on Wednesday 3rd September we would like to remind all parents / carers ro keep us updated regarding allergies that children may have.
According to research 20% of allergic reactions to food occur at school so keeping us informed about children's needs can help us prevent incidents.
In order to safeguard children or members of staff suffering a serious allergic reaction it is crucial that we take proactive steps to minmise risk.
An allergic reaction to nuts is the most common and dangerous allergy risk therefore could we remind all parents / carers to ensure that all packed lunches and any snacks are 'nut free'.
We do have children and adults in school who have identified nut allergies and we must take every step to protect them.
Our school kitchen and catering providers have strict guidelines to ensure they are 'nut free' and appointments can be made to discuss this with them.
Thnk for your support with making sure our school is 'nut free' and that children and adults are safe in our school.
Start of new term - One week to go
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.

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.
