Welcome Back! Milefield Primary School Newsletter September 2022

A warm welcome back to pupils, families and staff.

I am really looking forward to the year ahead and know that it will be filled with achievement and success. I am sure that the first day of the academic year will be extremely successful and pupils will return ready to learn and with positive attitudes and behaviour to succeed. I am very proud of our school and pupils and would like to thank all parents for your ongoing support and involvement. I am available most mornings on the school playground so please do come and speak to me!
