Important - September 2025
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.
Stay safe online - Roblox
Roblox is a gaming platform where players can create and publish their own games. The platform can be a great educational tool to help teach children new skills like coding - however, there are also some risks.
Roblox allows players to build and publish their own games. This means that other users could build games that contain adult or inappropriate themes that your child might see.
Players can use the communication features of Roblox to talk to one other while they are playing. This means that there is a risk of cyberbullying or unwanted contact
There is an excellent guide for parents / carers about how to keep children safe when using Roblox on the UK Safer Internet Centre site available by clicking here: https://saferinternet.org.uk/blog/roblox-a-guide-for-parents

Join the Summer Reading Challenge at Tamworth Library
We are excited to invite your child to take part in this year’s Summer Reading Challenge – completely FREE at Tamworth library and other libraries across Staffordshire.
We always have a great number of pupils from Millfield take part in the Summer Reading Challenge every year and we would like that to be the same this year because of the great benefits we see for pupils reading and general English skills.
What is the Summer Reading Challenge?
The Summer Reading Challenge is a fun, free way for children aged 4–11 to stay motivated to read during the summer holidays. Children set their own reading goal and can read anything they enjoy – all books count!
The Summer Reading Challenge is great because it:
· Is an amazing way to boost confidence and self-esteem.
· Helps children to be better prepared to return to school in the autumn.
· Supports the move into a new year group.
· Encourages people to visit the library which provides free access to books and fun family activities all through the summer.
This year’s challenge is called Story Garden, and it’s all about nature, exploring the outdoors, exploring magical spaces, storytelling and reading!
As part of this year’s challenge children will explore the magical connection between nature and reading with the Story Garden characters! They will meet them inside their collector’s sticker booklet and spot amazing fantastical creatures and plants dotted around the garden – all illustrated by this year’s special guest award-winning illustrator, Dapo Adeola.
To get their special booklet and start collecting stickers all they need to do is sign up at the library.
The challenge started on the 5th July so pupils can sign up now!
Don’t forget all pupils are invited to bring their special certificate of acheivement into school after the summer holidays when they have completed the challenge to have presented at our Star of the Week assembly.
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
