Primary Schools are not just about reading, writing and maths- they’re about engaging children in the environment around them, awakening an interest in, amongst other things, science, sport, music and the arts. At Millfield we now have a very established commitment to sport and are developing our provision for music at the School. I am delighted to share with you that at the beginning of the autumn term, we were successful in being awarded the…

1950s Anniversary At the beginning of last term, we went back to the 1950s as part of our Anniversary Celebrations. The old Secondary School, the Martin School, was built on our site in 1956, and to coincide with the new Secondary, LECA, opening in Littleport this year, we thought it would be fun to learn more about life in the 1950s. Children in all year groups learnt about life in the 1950s. The fashion, music,…

This has been such an exciting venture for the School and local community. Our Nursery opened on September 11th and I have to say has been an absolute joy from day 1. The Nursery staff made home visits prior to the children starting and parents and children were invited for taster sessions before their ‘proper’ start date. This enabled parents and staff to get to know each other and for children to become familiar with…

We have reached the end of another school year and one in which we have achieved a great deal. As ever, the end of year performance was wonderful. All our children did themselves proud in ‘Pirates of the Curry Bean’ but I have to say a special ‘well done’ to Year 6 who were amazing- some of them really do find their niche when it comes to the show and it’s great seeing how they…

It has been a very busy and fun term at Littleport Community Primary School. So much has been happening that I have asked members of staff to help with our contribution to the latest edition of Littleport Life. One of the high points this year, was the news that Brooke Smith in Year 4 had won an Art Competition organised by East Cambs District Council to design a character to promote recycling called ‘Michael Recycle’….

The new Littleport campus has made excellent progress in recent months this was evident as seen on a recent site visit by the schools’ management team. It has really gained momentum and functional spaces are now being developed with electrics being fitted into rooms, windows fitted, and paint even going on to walls in some areas. The final decoration finishes have been completed, and there is definitely a light and airy feel making the most…

All schools are legally obliged to follow a broad and balanced curriculum and yet with the national focus on reading, writing and maths, along with everything in the media about standards not being high enough, it would be easy to think that this was all schools offered. However at Millfield we believe very much in providing a range of rich opportunities for all our children. It is through these that children learn about the things…
