From the inspection on 11 March 2025

Pupils are happy and thrive at this school. The overwhelming majority of parents and carers praise the school highly. One parent's comment, which was typical of so many, was, 'Millfield is a fantastic school, where children are put first.' Children in the early years get off to a flying start. They are eager to learn and concentrate for sustained periods of time. Children learn to count in a range of exciting ways, including when they play hopscotch. Pupils' behave very well. The school emphasises for pupils to treat each other with respect, regardless of people's backgrounds. Pupils are highly respectful towards each other and to adults. Pupils enjoy taking on positions of responsibility, such as a being a sports leader or a 'well-being warrior'. Pupils feel safe in school and know their 'trusted adults', who they can approach if they have a worry. The curriculum has been well designed to help pupils learn and recall a deep knowledge of subjects. For example, in science, pupils in Year 1 learn how to identify mammals and amphibians. In Year 6, pupils plan a fair test independently. Pupils rise to the high expectations set for them. They attain highly in reading, writing and mathematics.
