From today, you will be able to order your child's school meal upto 9.30am every day, the cut off had previously been 8.00am.  Also, if your child is absent, this gives you plenty of time to cancel their meal.  If you do not cancel it, they will charge you for the meal, we cannot refund after 9.30am.  

The school office will no longer be adding any meals, if anyone is struggling to access the App please contact us and we will arrange an appointment for you to come in and we will go through downloading it and getting you logged into the App.  I have added instructions on using the SFU App.

If you miss the cut-off for ordering your child's meal, the kitchen will serve your child a jacket potato with beans, which they will charge you for.  Please can we ask for your support with this, we would encourage every parent who's child wants a school dinner to order the meal that their child will wants.  

Opal is an award-winning, mentor supported school improvement programme that supports schools to improve the quality of their play opportunities. Opal is the only programme of its kind that has been independently proven to sustainably improve the quality of play in British primary schools.

This embeds play in the school’s policies and practices and establishes clear guiding principles and strategies for initiating lasting changes at playtimes.

We are just beginning our Opal journey at Millfield, and are excited for the future, where we will provide our children with opportunities to benefit from high quality play.

We will keep you informed of our progress.

In line with our attendance policy and government guidelines, we will be continuing to monitor pupil’s attendance. You may receive a letter highlighting your child’s low attendance. Our aim is to work closely with you to remove any barriers that may be preventing your child accessing their full educational entitlement and the benefits of being in school.  Attached is a copy of our attendance and punctuality policy for your information.
