A very warm welcome to all our new Year 7 students and their families. 

Starting secondary school is an exciting milestone, and I am delighted to welcome you to our school community. I know that beginning this new chapter can bring a mixture of excitement and nerves, but I am committed to ensuring every student feels supported, valued, and confident as they settle into school life. 

As Millfield’s Year 7 Progress Lead, I believe that every child has the potential to succeed. My role is to provide the guidance, encouragement, and opportunities that allow each student to thrive both academically and personally. 

My focus is built around three key principles: 

Safeguarding – The safety and wellbeing of our students is my highest priority. At Millfield we are committed to creating a secure, inclusive environment where every child feels safe, respected, and able to reach their full potential. 

Attendance – Excellent attendance is essential for success. Being in school every day allows students to make the most of their learning, build positive relationships, and fully engage with all aspects of school life. 

Behaviour – We have high expectations because we want every student to succeed. Positive behaviour, respect for others, and a willingness to learn help create a calm and supportive environment where everyone can flourish. 

The transition from primary to secondary school is an important journey, and we work closely with students, parents, and carers to ensure it is as smooth and positive as possible. We encourage every student to embrace new opportunities, challenge themselves, and become active members of our school community. 

I look forward to getting to know each of our Year 7 students and supporting them throughout this exciting stage of their education. Together, we will help them develop the confidence, resilience, and ambition to achieve their very best. 

Welcome to Team Millfield!
