Welcome to the new academic year. We have produced
this short summary to provide you with information
about our up and coming events.
At Millfield LEAD Academy we work together to provide a
stimulating environment where children are nurtured,
motivated to learn, are valued as individuals and encouraged
to reach their full potential.
ATTENDANCE
Parents/Carers should ensure that their children arrive to
school on time, properly dressed and in a condition to learn.
The school day is organised to help the children optimise the
learning opportunities.

We expect all children to arrive to school and be collected
on time. If your child is absent it is your responsibility to
inform the school by a letter or telephone message via the
school office, failure to do so will result in your child having
an unauthorised absence.
Extended holidays during term time will disrupt a child’s
education and progress. The school cannot authorise any
requests. However, we can consider exceptional leave of
absence requests. These should be requested via the form
which is available at the office. The academy does not have
to authorise any requests so please check first.
STANDARD OF ACHIEVEMENT
-All children are expected to work hard and present their
work clearly and to the best of their ability.
–Pupils are asked to take care of school equipment and

written reports.

pupils, school staff, parents and visitors while on school
premises and when out with their class.
–Pupils are expected to report any incidents of aggressive

Friends of Millfield
The Friends of Millfield work hard to raise
funds for the school. This enables your
children to have opportunities that would not
normally be available to them. Please support
them by coming to their events or by coming
along to the meetings or offering to help at
events. They are raising funds for a stage for
the large hall. This will benefit every child at
the school.
